New Analytical Columns Feature Hybrid Particle Technology and Offer
Outstanding Longevity, Batch-to-Batch Consistency and Reproducibility of
Results
MILFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 15, 2014--
Waters Corporation (WAT:NYSE) today introduced new size exclusion
chromatography (SEC) columns for the characterization of proteins. For
use with Waters®
Alliance® HPLC, Waters
ACQUITY® UPLC® H-Class Systems and other
HPLC/UHPLC instruments, the XBridge®
Protein BEH SEC Columns deliver optimal throughput and resolution
for size-based separations of protein-based biotherapeutics. The columns
are immediately available from Waters worldwide.

The XBridge Protein BEH SEC Columns are packed with 3.5 μm particles and
are available in either 200 or 450 Å pore sizes for analyzing proteins
and other biomolecules ranging in molecular weight from 10,000 –
1,500,000 Da. The columns are designed to operate at higher flow rates
and pressures than traditional silica-based SEC columns. These
characteristics result in either increased sample throughput or, by
using multiple columns in series, greater component resolution. Use of
Waters diol-bonded, BEH Technology particles delivers outstanding column
longevity and Waters proprietary manufacturing process ensures unmatched
batch-to-batch and column-to-column consistency for reproducible results.
These new offerings complement Waters ACQUITY Protein BEH SEC columns
and provide laboratories with the ability to seamlessly transfer methods
from UPLC to HPLC using columns containing particles differing only in
their size. Each batch of XBridge Protein BEH SEC 200 Å and 450 Å, 3.5
μm material is extensively tested to ensure unmatched batch-to-batch
consistency.
Each column is shipped with a vial of either the BEH200 or BEH450 SEC
Protein Standard Mixture for column and LC System benchmarking, method
development, or troubleshooting. These standards are the same as those
used for quality control testing of XBridge Protein BEH SEC batches.
They may be used to verify the performance of each column upon receipt
and to monitor their condition over time.
