Who are our competitors?

ESA = number 1

BAS

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

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
