Chromatography Systems (HPLC/GC) in Namibia
Available Chromatography Systems (HPLC/GC) Models

In the realm of medical diagnostics and research, Chromatography Systems, encompassing High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Gas Chromatography (GC), are sophisticated analytical instruments that separate, identify, and quantify components within a complex sample. Think of it as a highly precise method for dissecting mixtures into their individual building blocks. HPLC is ideal for non-volatile or thermally unstable compounds in liquid samples, while GC excels at separating and analyzing volatile and semi-volatile compounds, often in gaseous samples.

At its core, chromatography relies on the principle of differential partitioning. A sample is introduced into a mobile phase (either a liquid for HPLC or a gas for GC) which then carries it through a stationary phase (a solid or liquid coated onto a solid support). Different components of the sample interact with the stationary phase to varying degrees. Those that interact more strongly travel slower, while those that interact weakly travel faster, resulting in their separation over time. Detectors then measure these separated components as they elute from the system, providing valuable quantitative and qualitative data.

In Namibia, advanced analytical capabilities are crucial for a range of healthcare and research institutions. Chromatography systems, particularly High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Gas Chromatography (GC), are indispensable tools for accurate and sensitive analysis. Their applications span various departments within larger facilities and are essential for specialized testing in dedicated laboratories. These systems are vital for ensuring product quality, identifying unknown substances, and conducting complex research.

Our comprehensive installation process is designed to minimize downtime and guarantee optimal performance from day one. We handle every stage, from initial site assessment to final calibration, adhering to stringent industry standards.

Site Preparation:

Before delivery, our technical team will conduct a thorough site survey at your facility in Namibia. This crucial step ensures your laboratory is adequately prepared to receive the advanced chromatography equipment. We will verify requirements for:

• Power: Adequate and stable power supply with appropriate voltage and grounding.

• Ventilation: Sufficient fume hood or dedicated extraction for safe solvent and gas handling.

• Gas Supplies: Access to high-purity carrier gases (e.g., Helium, Nitrogen, Hydrogen) with appropriate regulators and lines.

• Bench Space & Accessibility: Sufficient and stable bench space for the instrument, autosampler, detectors, and accessories, with easy access for operation and maintenance.

• Environmental Controls: Stable ambient temperature and humidity conditions to prevent instrument drift.

Delivery & Unpacking:

Our logistics partners are experienced in handling delicate scientific instrumentation. The system will be transported securely to your Namibian location. Upon arrival, our certified engineers will carefully unpack the system, conduct an initial visual inspection for any transit damage, and verify that all components and accessories are present as per the order.

Installation Steps:

Our expert technicians will meticulously install your chromatography system following manufacturer-approved procedures:

• System Placement: Positioning the instrument in its designated, prepared location.

• Component Connection: Assembling and connecting all modules, including the autosampler, injector, column oven, detector, and auxiliary units.

• Gas & Solvent Line Setup: Properly connecting and leak-testing all gas and solvent lines.

• Software Installation & Configuration: Installing the control software and configuring it to your specific laboratory network and workflow.

• Initial Power-Up & Diagnostics: Performing initial power-up and running system diagnostics to identify any immediate issues.

• System Priming: Safely priming solvent lines and preparing the system for operation.

Calibration & Performance Qualification:

To ensure your system meets its specified performance standards and delivers accurate, reproducible results, a rigorous calibration and qualification process is undertaken:

• Detector Calibration: Calibrating detectors using certified standards to ensure accurate signal response.

• Flow Rate Calibration: Verifying and calibrating pump flow rates for precise mobile phase delivery.

• Temperature Calibration: Ensuring the accuracy of the column oven and other temperature-controlled components.

• System Suitability Testing (SST): Performing SST using standard test mixtures to confirm the system's ability to achieve the required analytical performance.

• Performance Qualification (PQ): Documenting that the installed system consistently operates within its defined specifications and is fit for its intended use.

Upon successful completion of the installation and qualification, our engineers will provide comprehensive training to your laboratory personnel on the operation, basic troubleshooting, and routine maintenance of your new chromatography system.

The cost of Chromatography Systems, including High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Gas Chromatography (GC), in Namibia can vary significantly based on several factors. These include the specific manufacturer, the model's sophistication and intended application (e.g., basic research vs. advanced pharmaceutical analysis), the number of detectors, automation features, and any bundled software or training packages.

Generally, you can expect to see price ranges starting from approximately N$300,000 for entry-level or refurbished systems. Mid-range to advanced, feature-rich HPLC and GC instruments, designed for more demanding analytical tasks and higher throughput, can range from N$600,000 to over N$1,500,000. For highly specialized configurations, or systems with multiple detectors and advanced automation, the investment can extend beyond this range.

It's crucial to obtain a detailed quote from reputable suppliers operating within Namibia or those with established local support. Factors such as warranty, installation services, ongoing maintenance contracts, and the availability of spare parts and technical expertise will also influence the overall cost of ownership and should be considered alongside the initial purchase price.
