Delivering What Matters:

Speed, Sensitivity, Simplicity

Pharmaceutical researchers and manufacturers rely on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to ensure the quality, safety, and efficacy of every product. But traditional systems are bulky, solvent-intensive, and slow to adapt to modern R&D and production demands.

Axcend is changing that. Our capillary-scale systems are redefining HPLC for the pharmaceutical industry—with portable instruments, real-time insight, and low solvent consumption. Whether you need results in the field, at-line, or in the lab, the Focus LC and InFocus platforms deliver what matters most: reliable results, faster decisions, and simpler workflows.

Built for Every Stage

From Early Discovery to Final QA/QC, Axcend Delivers

Pharmaceutical laboratories are under pressure to do more with less—less time, less sample, less solvent, less error. Axcend’s capillary HPLC systems deliver precision and performance across a wide range of pharmaceutical applications:

Quality Control & Batch Release

Optimize QC workflows with compact systems that reduce solvent use and free up valuable lab space.

Real-Time Data.
Smarter Decisions.
Faster Time-to-Market.

Process Analytical Technology (PAT) is transforming how pharmaceutical products are developed and manufactured—and Axcend makes it practical. Our systems can be deployed inline, at-line, or near-line, bringing powerful analytical capabilities directly to the point of need. Whether you’re monitoring a reaction in a pilot plant or optimizing a manufacturing process, Axcend enables near real-time feedback that helps reduce batch failures, shorten development timelines, and accelerate market readiness.
