Err, I mean, chromatography nerds
I am thinking of spending stupid amounts of money on my first HPLC system. There are two options in front of me:
#1 - ~$7,000 AUD
SPD-M10Avp UV/VIS photodiode array detector c20903602519
SCL-10Avp system controller 228-34350-38
LC workstation class-vp
LC-10ATvp solvent delivery module 228-39001-38
SIL-10ADvp auto injector 228-39005-38
Matcom systems computer with class-VP 990706-02 2-2ss dongle
Alltech 590 degasser
(manuals, leads, etc)
#2 - ~$8,000 AUD
CTO-10A column oven
SPD-10 UV-VIS detector
LC-10AD liquid chromatograph dual gradient pump
SCL-10A system controller
SIL-10A auto injector
I'm thinking the former will be a much better newbie system for me because it's a complete system and comes with a crummy old computer which would probably get me up and running in no time. I run Ubuntu on my current machine and getting obscure peripherals to talk to it is often a test of my patience and purpose in life ..
What do y'all think?
What do you'll think? Is it worth sacrificing the column oven in #2 to get a all-in-one system #1?
