Complex Chemical Challenges

Analyzing chemical products demands sensitivity, repeatability, and throughput. The Focus LC provides all three without requiring a traditional lab setup. Its small footprint and low-flow capillary design supports highly efficient separations while minimizing solvent waste and enabling deployment virtually anywhere. That means you can accurately separate and quantify ingredients in complex mixtures, significantly reduce solvent use and hazardous waste, and place the system directly at the point of need—whether that’s the QA lab, the production floor, or near the field.

Flexible Deployment for Chemical Analysis

Analytical Power, Wherever You Need It

The Focus LC empowers chemical manufacturers with the ability to perform reliable testing in environments that traditional HPLC systems simply can’t handle. From production-scale QA to formulation development, Axcend enables teams to bring precision testing closer to where decisions are made.

Batch Consistency and Stability Testing

Monitor production runs for compositional consistency and assess long-term stability for regulatory compliance and performance assurance.

Go Anywhere.
Analyze Anything.

The Axcend Focus LC is engineered for high-impact environments where space is limited and uptime is critical, such as chemical manufacturing floors, pilot plants, and QA stations. At just 18 pounds and with no need for external pumps, the system can be deployed quickly and operated safely even in harsh settings.
