Nexera X4 Ultra High-Performance Liquid Chromatograph
Ultra High-Performance Liquid Chromatograph
Performance without compromise
-
"Built on the proven technologies of the Nexera series, the next-generation Nexera X4 Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatograph (UHPLC) delivers a new standard in analytical excellence. Its industry-leading low-dispersion design enables superior sensitivity, ultra-sharp peaks, and outstanding separation performance, while advanced fluid control technology ensures consistently reliable results — even in high-speed, ultra-high-pressure analyses.
Designed for labs that cannot afford interruptions, reruns, or wasted solvent, the Nexera X4 combines ultra-fast gradients, exceptionally low system volume, and enhanced robustness to keep workflows efficient and dependable under pressure. Whether used with standard LC detectors or as an LC/MS front-end, it is built for peak separation efficiency and high throughput.This is XPLC — Extreme Performance Chromatography."
