Key Benefits

Save time. Quickly find the column that works best for Get consistent results. Get outstanding reproducibility,
your application. column to column and batch to batch.

Choose the right column. Varian’s unique chemistries
deliver the selectivity you need for any application.
Find the best method. When used in conjunction
with Varian’s Fusion AE™ automated HPLC method
development software, users can find the best possible
method for separating their selected analytes in the
shortest time.
Replace columns less often. Be confident that your
Varian HPLC column will deliver reliable performance for
a long time to come.
Scale up conveniently. Easily switch from analytical to
prep without worry.

Fusion AE™ Automated Method Development and Fusion AE delivers:

Validation Software
Fusion AE saves you the time and frustration associated with
manually modifying one parameter at a time to develop
your methods. Used in combination with the HPLC method
development column kits, it allows users to quickly determine
the optimum column and parameters for any separation. It
reduces method development time from weeks to a few days and
delivers robust methods that can also be automatically validated.
• Reduced operator bench-time and method development
costs.
• Increased sample throughput using the best possible
methods.
• The confidence of knowing your methods can be
automatically validated.
• Automated data analysis and reporting to pharmacopoeia
and regulatory requirements.
