Advanced Spectral Analysis with Low-Cost Ownership and Proven Waters Reliability
If your laboratory is tackling advanced analytical, regulatory, or operational challenges, the Waters Alliance 2695 HPLC System with the Waters 2996 Photodiode Array (PDA) Detector is a proven, high-performance solution. Unlike conventional single- or dual-wavelength UV detectors, the 2996 PDA Detector acquires complete 3D UV-Visible spectra (190–800 nm) for every chromatographic peak, enabling simultaneous multi-wavelength monitoring, peak purity analysis, impurity detection, spectral library matching, and confident compound identification within a single analytical run. This comprehensive spectral capability is especially valuable for pharmaceutical method development, stability studies, and regulatory compliance. The Alliance 2695 further enhances productivity with its integrated Sample Management System, featuring sample compartment heating and cooling (typically 4°C to 40°C) to protect temperature-sensitive biological samples, proteins, and unstable pharmaceutical compounds during extended analytical sequences. Its 120-vial autosampler supports long, unattended overnight batch processing with highly reproducible sample handling and programmable injection methods. As one of the most widely deployed HPLC platforms in the pharmaceutical industry for more than two decades, the Alliance 2695 benefits from an extensive global installed base, making replacement parts, including pump seals, plungers, sapphire rods, check valves, injector components, and deuterium lamps, readily available and cost-effective. Combined with straightforward in-house preventative maintenance, native Waters Empower™ software compatibility, and exceptional long-term reliability, this configuration delivers advanced analytical capabilities while significantly reducing lifetime operating costs.
Waters Alliance 2695 2996 HPLC System Price and Cost of Ownership: Reliable Performance at Lower Cost
The Waters Alliance 2695 HPLC System with the 2996 Photodiode Array (PDA) Detector delivers exceptional analytical capability while maintaining a highly attractive total cost of ownership. Certified refurbished systems are typically available for $9,500 to $14,500. In contrast, a comparable new Waters Alliance iS HPLC System with iS PDA Detector generally ranges from $48,000 to $62,000+, allowing laboratories to reduce initial capital expenditures by up to 80% while gaining advanced full-spectrum UV-Visible detection for regulated and research applications. Beyond the significant acquisition savings, the Alliance 2695 platform is renowned for its rugged mechanical construction, long operational lifespan, and extensive global installed base, ensuring affordable replacement parts, including pump seals, plungers, sapphire rods, check valves, injector components, deuterium lamps, flow cells, and other routine consumables, remain readily available. Native compatibility with Waters Empower™ Chromatography Data Software, together with widespread third-party service support, further lowers long-term operating costs by simplifying maintenance, minimizing downtime, and extending instrument service life. Every certified refurbished system is professionally inspected, refurbished, calibrated, and performance tested to verify dependable operation before shipment, providing laboratories with a validated, production-ready instrument at a fraction of the cost of purchasing new. For pharmaceutical, environmental, food and beverage, biotechnology, chemical, and academic laboratories requiring advanced PDA spectral analysis, a certified refurbished Waters Alliance 2695 HPLC System with the 2996 PDA Detector offers outstanding return on investment, reliable analytical performance, and exceptional long-term value.
