SmartSaver™ USB Solvent Recycler – Efficient Solvent Recovery for Isocratic HPLC

The SmartSaver™ USB Solvent Recycler is specifically designed for isocratic HPLC applications, enabling efficient solvent recycling that can save up to 90% of the mobile phase. In many cases, the majority of the mobile phase remains uncontaminated, making disposal unnecessary. By continuously monitoring the detector signal, the SmartSaver™ automatically redirects clean solvent back to the solvent reservoir, reducing both solvent consumption and waste disposal costs.

Intelligent 3-Way Valve Operation

The device operates using a 3-way switching valve, which is directly connected to the detector’s mobile phase output. Its functionality is based on the input signal level:

If the signal level exceeds the pre-set threshold, the valve switches to the waste position, ensuring that contaminated solvent is properly discarded.
If the signal level remains below the threshold, the uncontaminated mobile phase is redirected back to the solvent reservoir, allowing for reuse.
To prevent cross-contamination, the switching back to the recycle position is delayed, ensuring that all solvent has sufficient time to travel from the detector cell to the 3-way valve.

By implementing SmartSaver™ USB Solvent Recycler, laboratories can achieve significant cost savings, reduce environmental impact, and enhance the efficiency of their HPLC processes.
