... Read More | Method scouting is a process where different mobile phases and column stationary phases are evaluated to determine the best set of separation conditions for a particular sample. Manual solvent preparation, column switching, and method programming are time-consuming steps, so the Nexera method Method scouting is a process where different mobile phases and column stationary phases are evaluated to determine the best set of separation conditions for a particular sample. Manual solvent preparation, column switching, and method programming are time-consuming steps, so the Nexera method scouting system was developed to streamline the entire process for more efficient method development.
The system is based around 2 LC-30AD pumps, each with a quaternary valve, which allows the analyst to run binary gradients with 16 different solvent pairs. A high-pressure column selection valve holds from 1 to 6 columns, resulting in up to 96 unique separation conditions per sample. Ultra-high speed conditions can be easily transferred to conventional conditions using a transfer program. In addition, scouting is performed automatically when the mobile phase is switched.
The Nexera Method Scouting Solution software has intuitive, user-friendly screens to set the pump and column valve positions, gradient program steps, and it automatically builds the sequence table in seconds. Method Scouting Solution provides the data required for analysis via a graphical user interface, as well as automated controls conforming to laboratory operations configured in the system settings.

Advanced fluid control technology maintains exceptional flow stability during high-speed, ultra-high-pressure analyses for consistently Featuring an industry-leading low-dispersion design, the Nexera X4 UHPLC delivers superior sensitivity, ultra-sharp peaks and outstanding separation performance. Advanced fluid control technology maintains exceptional flow stability during high-speed, ultra-high-pressure analyses for consistently reliable results.
Features of the Nexera X4 UHPLC include:
- Ultra-Fast Analysis - With a new four-drive binary pump, independently activated plungers and pressure feedback control, the Nexera X4 UHPLC enables ultra-fast analysis through highly responsive solvent delivery. The instrument cuts analysis times by 92% versus typical HPLC systems and 78% versus other UHPLC-class systems, delivering up to 14 times greater laboratory productivity.
-
High-End Autosampler - Features a newly designed low-internal-volume high-pressure valve, low-dispersion injection mode, and high-speed needle internal/external rinsing, making it suitable for a wide range of samples, from those with extremely low concentrations that require high sensitivity to samples with high concentrations that require rinsing functionality.
-
Newly Designed Low-Dispersion, High-Sensitivity PDA Detector - The new SPD-M40 X4 uses a capillary cell to reduce peak broadening, a design that minimizes solvent-derived refractive index effects, leading to stable baselines and higher sensitivity. In addition, the broader dynamic range enables analysis of a wider range of low to high-concentration samples.
-
Ultra-Sharp Peaks - The Nexera X4 incorporates Shimadzu’s Nexflow technology to minimize system-derived peak broadening through low-dispersion flow paths that maintain the internal diameter of the flow lines. This feature increases sensitivity, enables full UHPLC column performance and delivers higher separation efficiency.
-
Ultra-Low Solvent Consumption - Used with narrow-bore columns, the Nexera X4 UHPLC significantly reduces solvent consumption, enabling more cost-efficient and environmentally conscious analysis.
-
Optimized for Analytical Miniaturization - The Nexera X4 UHPLC supports analytical miniaturization through its precise micro-volume injection, accurate mobile phase delivery and low-dispersion flow paths that minimize band broadening, even with narrow-bore columns.
-
Maximize Mass Spectrometry Performance - The Nexflow Tubing kit reduces peak broadening between the column outlet and MS interface, leveraging the ultra-fast and high-separation performance of the Nexera X4 UHPLC and maximizing mass spectrometer performance.
Analytical Intelligence to Maintain System Robustness
Three key functionalities serve to maintain analytical robustness:
- During startup, the system checks the status of the check valve and autosampler, preventing analysis if any issues are detected.
-
Safeguards data quality by stabilizing flow and protecting against column degradation.
-
Continuously monitors operations during analyses, automatically restoring functionality and minimizing downtime in case of problems.
