Unique Selling Points (USP)Decade II Antec BV Zoeterwoude, The Netherlands
USP (short) • Most sensitive ECD • Most versatile – fits any (U)HPLC • Most referenced, proven track record • 5 Years warranty on cell
Who are our competitors? • ESA = number 1 • BAS • Eicom • Dionex • Waters (OEM)
Antec vs. ESA (Coulometric) • faster stability !!! • better s/n ratio (=detection limit) amperometric has max. 10% conversion and much smaller we surface area • usable range from standard LC to capillary LC • 5 years guarantee vs 3 months • small samples <10ul • 20-500 times more sensitive
Amperometric vs Coulometric • amperometric • about 5 – 10 % conversion • low noise • best S/N ratio • coulometric • highest signal • highest noise • poor S/N ratio • Figure from D. M. Morgan and S. G. Weber • Anal. Chem., 56, 1984, p. 2560
Dual (multi) cell control option • Serial mode • Parallel mode
ESA multi cell configurations • Guard cell + analytical cell • Cleaning mobile phase (before injector) • Conditioning cell + analytical cell • Cleaning up chromatography
Antec v.s.BAS, Eicom, Dionex (amperometric) • only Antec has workstation concept • Antec has superior detector features (ADF, multi cell, temp control) • flow cell, wall jet, 5 year guarantee (GC-WE) • usable from standard LC to capillary LC • ALEXYS system approach, better detection limits • Dionex is amperometric but focused on only carbohydrates and shows much less sensitivity.(flowcell issues)
Waters 2465 vs. DECADE II • no ADF • no multi cell control • no Flexcell • different specifications • (temp stability, range setting) • software Empower
Conclusion • Antec products are competitive • Antec products and accessories show better performance • Antec is developing products and analyzers to improve the position in relation to the competition • You can beat the competition when you are… • focussed • prepared • dedicated
