System Design
The Flexible System Design
The TLX Systems are configured with patented TurboFlow columns, a CTC autosampler, loading and eluting pumps, a valve interface module, Aria control software, and electronics and computer components. The systems are available to meet your precise needs, and can be easily upgraded for increased levels of productivity. TLX systems interface with all of the leading MS/MS, and provide online operation of a wide range of pump selections.
Thermo Fisher Scientific offers a variety of TLX systems, allowing you to choose the system that best suits your lab’s specific needs.
| TLX-1 | TLX-2 | TLX-4 |
|---|---|---|
| Single-channel | Two-channel | Four-channel |
| Can run TurboFlow or LC methods | Can run TurboFlow and LC methods simultaneously in any combination of the two | Can run TurboFlow and LC methods simultaneously in any combination of the four |
| Excellent throughput | Two times the throughput of TLX-1 | Four times the throughput of TLX-1 |
Simple Online Operation with Aria Software
Automated online operation is made possible with Aria® system software, which is specifically designed for optimal pump, valve, and autosampler operation to allow both TurboFlow and HPLC methods to be run on a single system, injection to injection. The Aria system software controls the dual pumping operation, valve switching, cleaning and gradient procedures to optimize system productivity and performance.
In addition, acquisition system interface is carefully controlled to optimize performance. Aria software manages all aspects of the multiplexing process once the samples are loaded and will allow a single sample or as many as four different sample sets to run simultaneously—each with a unique method. The Windows-based software commands are easy to understand and program so that procedures can be made quickly and easily. One screen is all you need to access the method conditions. Aria software interfaces with all of the leading MS software.
