New Columns Proven to Maximize HPLC Separation Efficiency and
Throughput
NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 12, 2014--
Waters Corporation (NYSE:WAT) today expanded its family of CORTECS®
Columns with the introduction of a new line of 2.7 micron
silica-based, solid-core particle columns that set a new standard for
HPLC column performance. The new set of columns is the newest addition
to the Waters® CORTECS family of columns. Waters introduced
the first – a set of 1.6 micron solid-core particle columns –in 2013.
The new columns are being shown at HPLC 2014, the 40th Annual
Symposium on High Performance Liquid Phase Separations and Related
Techniques.
Designed for analytical scientists who need to maximize performance on
their existing LC systems, CORTECS 2.7 micron Columns run at lower
pressures while delivering high efficiencies. This gives the scientist
the flexibility to use longer column lengths to improve resolution or
higher flow rates to speed instrument analysis times and increase
throughput.
Available in C18+, C18, and HILIC chemistries,
Waters offers the columns in 48 unique column configurations and is
making them immediately available for shipping worldwide.
“With the introduction of CORTECS 2.7 micron Columns, Waters now gives
chromatographic laboratories the ability to improve the resolution,
speed, and sensitivity of their HPLC separations,” said Michael Yelle,
Vice President, Consumables Business Unit, Waters Division. “The
advanced solid-core particle design of CORTECS 2.7 micron Columns
together with Waters’ 40+ years of column manufacturing expertise put
these columns at the head of their class in terms of overall
chromatographic performance with the market leading batch-to-batch
reproducibility, robustness and quality our customers have come to
expect from Waters.”
The new columns complement Waters CORTECS 1.6 micron Columns for
UltraPerformance LC® (UPLC®) introduced in 2013.
CORTECS 2.7 micron Columns are fully scalable to CORTECS 1.6 micron
Columns, thus allowing separation scientists who currently run HPLC
separations the ability to future-proof their laboratories and
seamlessly transfer or migrate their separation to UPLC.
CORTECS C18+ columns deliver excellent peak shapes for basic
compounds and impart unique selectivity while being a superior low
bleed, formic acid-friendly option for LC/MS applications.
CORTECS C18 Columns are general-purpose, high-efficiency, RP
columns offering balanced retention of acids, bases, and neutrals at low
and mid-range pH. CORTECS C18 Columns provide superb
resolution and retention for complex mixtures.
CORTECS HILIC Columns are designed for the retention of extremely polar
analytes utilizing hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC).
Additional benefits include increased mass spectrometry response and
compatibility with direct injection of organic extracts from common
sample preparation techniques, such as solid-phase extraction (SPE),
liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and protein precipitation (PPT).
Waters Technical Presentations at HPLC 2014
CORTECS Columns are featured in several workshops and presentations at
HPLC 2014. On Monday, May 12, Waters scientists will deliver an oral
presentation (L-042) titled Advances in Solid-Core Material Research.
And on Tuesday, May 13, Waters will conduct a complimentary workshop
titled Ways to Improve Productivity and Efficiency with Innovative
New Solutions. The workshop is scheduled for 12:20 in the Oak
Alley Room at the Hilton Hotel.
