Supply and Installation of Laboace LC-5060 Plus II Recycling Preparative HPLC System

Background
The University of Mississippi (UM) is issuing a sole source notice for the purchase of a Laboace LC-5060 Plus II Recycling Preparative HPLC System manufactured by Japan Analytical Industry (JAI) Co., Ltd in Tokyo, Japan. The system is essential for efficient purification of structurally precise macrocycles and nanocarbon fragments from complex reaction mixtures, which is difficult using traditional chromatography methods. The sole distributor for all JAI products in the United States is Columnex LLC, and the University has determined that the quoted pricing is reasonable based on previous purchases and negotiations with the vendor.

Work Details
The system includes main systems (HPLC pumps, touch screen, injection and recycling component), two detectors (UV-Vis and refractive index), two GPC columns for separations of organic compounds, other accessories (low binary gradient, manual column selector valve, SUS line), as well as shipping, insurance, and import duties from Japan to destination.
