Waters Corporation has added to its CORTECS® Columns product family with the introduction of two new chemistries.

Built on Waters proven solid-core particle technology, the Waters®CORTECS C8 and CORTECS Phenyl analytical columns are designed for scientists who need to expand their chromatographic separation space while maximizing the speed, resolution and sensitivity of their small molecule HPLC, UHPLC or UPLC®separations. Capable of operating at very high column efficiencies and low backpressures, the new columns give scientists additional selectivity choices and allow them to develop methods quickly, and generate more information with every analytical run. The CORTECS C8 and CORTECS Phenyl chemistries are available in two particle sizes, 1.6 and 2.7 micron, and are offered in a total of 50 unique column configurations.

“With the addition of these new columns, Waters now gives laboratories additional options for improving the resolution, speed, and sensitivity of their separations,” said Michael Yelle, Vice President - Consumables, Waters Technologies Corporation. “We are committed to expanding the selectivity space of the CORTECS solid-core column line while maintaining the market leading batch-to-batch reproducibility, robustness and quality our customers have come to expect from Waters.”

CORTECS C8 Columns exhibit a lower hydrophobicity when compared to typical bonded C18 phases and are useful for separating strongly hydrophobic compounds. They are also ideal for chemists looking to transfer or scale compendial C8 HPLC methods to a more robust column technology.

CORTECS Phenyl Columns are an excellent alternative to typically bonded C18 phases, particularly for aromatic compounds, based on the unique selectivity provided by the Phenyl bonded phase.

Both the 1.6 and 2.7 micron CORTECS C8 and CORTECS Phenyl columns are fully scalable for the seamless transfer of methods between the two particle sizes.

The CORTECS UPLC 1.6 micron particle columns are designed to yield maximum efficiency when used with the ultra-low dispersion Waters ACQUITY® UPLC® instrument platform. In the separations market space, CORTECS UPLC 1.6 micron columns offer to scientists previously unattainable levels of performance.

The CORTECS 2.7-micron particle columns are designed for maximum flexibility for use on both UHPLC and HPLC instrument platforms. CORTECS 2.7 micron columns run at lower backpressures while delivering high efficiencies, which allows for the use of longer column lengths to improve resolution or higher flow rates to speed instrument analysis times and increase throughput.

The two new chemistries complement the existing CORTECS C18+, C18, and HILIC chemistries in Waters current CORTECS product portfolio.

ACQUITY UPLC® BEH Phenyl Columns

Waters

ACQUITY UPLC® BEH Phenyl columns utilize a trifunctional C6 alkyl tether between the phenyl ring and the silyl functionality. This ligand, combined with the same proprietary endcapping processes as the ACQUITY UPLC™ BEH C18 and C8 columns, provides ultra-low column bleed, long column lifetimes and excellent peak shape. This unique combination of ligand and endcap on the 1.7 μm BEH particle creates a new dimension in selectivity and efficiency for challenging UPLC® separations.

AutosamplersAutosamplers are automated sample loaders used with a number of separation and analytical techniques. HPLC autosamplers use automated partial or full-loop injection systems and place samples in vials or microplates for analysis. Autosamplers can also be used for elemental analysis. Features to consider include repeatability, syringe capacity, footprint and temperature controls.  Gas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and quantitate mixtures of small and volatile compounds. Gas chromatographs or GC systems include components such as GC columns, detectors, pumps and autosamplers. Choose from packed or capillary GC columns, flame ionization (FID), photoionization (PID) electron capture detectors and selective or non-selective detectors. Find the best gas chromatographs in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.UHPLC and HPLCHigh performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), also known as UPLC, are analytical techniques used to separate, identify and quantitate components of complex mixtures including biological samples such as proteins and lipids as well as chemical mixtures of pesticides, drugs and oils. Both techniques are liquid chromatographic methods but differ by operating pressures (HPLC < 6000 psi < UHPLC ). Components of HPLC and UHPLC systems include columns, detectors, pumps, autosamplers and column heaters. Explore a range of UHPLC and HPLC columns for your specific sample needs including reverse phase, normal phase, ion exchange, HILIC, ion exclusion and size exclusion columns.
