UHPLC Column Protection Dramatically Extends UHPLC Column Performance and Lifetime
26 Apr 2015UHPLC columns can significantly improve chromatographic separations, but they also present unique challenges. Once the UHPLC system components are optimized, perhaps your greatest concern is protecting the column from the damaging effects of microparticulates and sample contaminants. An ultra-high performance column protection system, specifically designed for UHPLC systems using sub-2 μm and core-shell particle columns, can be used to extend column lifetime (saving both money and time through less frequent column replacement), while minimizing system troubleshooting and downtime.
