Ultra High-Performance Liquid Chromatograph System

The Prominence-i LC-2030 LT is a new model of Shimadzu’s i-Series integrated high-performance liquid chromatograph and ultra high-performance liquid chromatograph systems.

The Prominence-i LC-2030 LT is a new model of Shimadzu’s i-Series integrated high-performance liquid chromatograph and ultra high-performance liquid chromatograph systems. The new system comes without a PDA and UV detector, allowing users to select a detector of their choice. The system provides a 14-second injection cycle time and 1536 continuous, unattended analyses using 4 x 384 well micro plates. The new model contains a color touch panel that supports control of the analysis, monitoring instrument status, and usage of the system and consumables. The panel also assists with maintenance and displays a chromatogram. The system contains auto-startup, auto system suitability test, quick-batch function, auto-shutdown, and auto-validation for system qualification. Instrument power can be turned off upon shutdown, saving more than 95% of standby electricity. Solvent and sample consumption can also be reduced to one-fifth of the usual amount without sacrificing data quality.

Equivalence test using two one-sided tests are widely used for demonstrating the comparability of treatment effects in different research fields. The method described in the manuscript aims to use simulations in Microsoft Excel to compute power for 2 one-sided tests for two groups with unequal variances.
