This upgrade device will be configured to permit the analysis of extractants from and/or products from enzymatic treatment of grasses by direct transfer of liquid chromatographic output into a flow through cell NMR probe allowing immediate NMR evaluation. Item specifications: The accessory shall be fully integrateable and compatible with the primary instrument, in both mechanical and software control. It shall permit the acquisition and computer storage of NMR data directly from liquid chromatographic peaks. The accessory shall be capable of both on-flow and stop-flow data collection. The system shall include appropriate chromatographic software and controller. The LC shall have a diode array detector with a manual injector. The flow cell shall have a 3mm pathlength. The NMR probe should permit proton and carbon acquisition in the inverse mode with flow through cell of 30-microliter sample volume with temperature control. Installation, training and Warranty: Vendor will install the accessory on the primary instrument in the purchaser=s laboratory. The device shall be warranted for a minimum of 90 days to include the cost of replacement parts and associated labor. One day of training on the accessory will be provided by the vendor.
