MaxPeak Premier columns for high-performance chromatographic separations

22 Jun 2026

This brochure highlights the MaxPeak Premier column portfolio from Waters, designed to improve chromatographic performance by reducing unwanted interactions between analytes and metal surfaces.

The columns incorporate MaxPeak High Performance Surfaces (HPS), which are engineered to minimize analyte adsorption and sample loss. This is particularly beneficial for metal-sensitive compounds such as lipids, organic acids, peptides, oligonucleotides, and other molecules containing phosphate or carboxylate groups.

By mitigating these interactions, the technology enhances analyte recovery, sensitivity and reproducibility, while improving peak shape and reducing the need for complex mobile phase additives. The result is more reliable data and greater confidence in analytical workflows.

LC-MSLC-MS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) systems and equipment are used for separation and quantitative analysis of complex mixtures, combining liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Quantify proteins, contaminants, pesticides or screen for drug metabolites with a high level of sensitivity. LC-MS systems and equipment include reverse phase, normal phase and specialized columns integrated with various MS detectors such as time-of-flight (TOF), quadrupole, orbitrap or ion trap mass analyzers. LC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzer give greater sensitivity and resolving power to your analysis.
