The fact is all mobile phases contain some chemical contaminants or microparticulates, from the sample, solvent, or wear on the polymeric seals of the pump or injector. These contaminants can clog frits, irreversibly bind to an HPLC column, degrade performance,... Read more

  • Application Area:HPLC analysis of APIs and raw materials

"SecurityGuard™ Universal HPLC Guard Cartridge System is the best of its kind available in the market. It's very easy to use in daily analysis work. Use of SecurityGuard™ Universal HPLC Guard Cartridge System is quite beneficial as it increases the column life considerably. The cartridge holder is a single time purchase. You have to replace the cartridge (available for different reverse phase and chiral stationary phases) only whenever required and of course, it is available at a very low cost and gives a good performance. The replacement technique of cartridge is very simple. No effect on retention time or peak resolution due to the use of the SecurityGuard™ Universal HPLC Guard Cartridge System. It is advisable to use dedicated one for a particular stationery phase e.g. C-8, C-18 etc. I recommend it to every analyst working on HPLC."

"SecurityGuard offers a convenient and economical way to extend HPLC column lifetimes. It is effectively designed to eliminate carryover contamination which is the common cause of high backpressure, split peaks, broad peak, baseline noise and loss of valuable resolution. Such system works to trap any contamination from passing to the HPLC column; thus it can extend the lifetime of HPLC columns and result in better chromatography. It is very easy and simple to install and handle."

SecurityGuard offers a convenient and economical way to extend HPLC column lifetimes.

Did you know a common cause of high backpressure, split peaks, broad peaks, baseline noise, baseline drift and loss of resolution is contaminants? The fact is all mobile phases contain some chemical contaminants or microparticulates, from the sample, solvent, or wear on the polymeric seals of the pump or injector.

These contaminants can clog frits, irreversibly bind to an HPLC column, degrade performance, and even damage the flow cell. SecurityGuard™ is a universal HPLC guard cartridge system designed to effectively (and inexpensively), protect all your valuable analytical columns from the damaging effects of chemical contaminants, without altering your chromatographic results.

SecurityGuard cartridge system provides the following advantages: Universal Phases, No Change in Chromatography Universal Fit Provides Universal Compatibility Direct-view Feature for Easy Changing Ease of Cartridge Selection Phenomenex also offers an interactive web application where users can enter their HPLC column information to find the most appropriate column protection system.
