CSH (Charged Surface Hybrid) Technology

Automated monitoring and tracking of column usage can be the cornerstone of a valuable data integrity workflow in the laboratory. Integrated technologies such as the ACQUITY UPLC System with eCord equipped UPLC Columns and Empower Chromatography Data System (CDS) allow the data monitoring process to be automated and transcript error free.

More than 200 combinations of column configurations and chemistries, UPLC Columns combine faster separations with higher resolution and sensitivities by harnessing the full potential of small particles. All Waters UPLC Columns are designed, tested, and guaranteed for routine use in applications up to 18,000 psi (1241 bar).

The 1.7 µm Ethylene Bridged Hybrid [BEH] particle is one of the key enablers behind UPLC Technology. It is available in three different pore sizes [130Å, 200Å, and 300Å] and several bonded phases for reversed-phase and hydrophilic interaction chromatography and is applicable from small molecule to large biopharmaceutical analysis. Due to the intrinsic chemical stability of hybrid particle technology, a wider usable pH range [pH 1-12] can be employed, enabling a versatile and robust separation technology for method development. BEH particle technology is available in HPLC particle sizes [2.5, 3.5, 5 and 10 µm] in the XBridge family of HPLC columns, enabling seamless transfer between HPLC and UPLC technology platforms. ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 and C8 Columns Providing unprecedented levels of peak asymmetry, efficiency, and chemical stability, the 1.7 µm ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 and C8 Columns are versatile, high-performance separation columns suitable

High pore volume HPLC particles do not possess the mechanical stability necessary to withstand the high pressures inherent in UPLC® separations. Waters material scientists addressed this challenge by developing a silica particle designed for high mechanical stability with the appropriate morphology to provide long UPLC column lifetimes and high UPLC efficiencies at high pressures. The 1.8 µm High Strength Silica (HSS) particle is the first and only 100% silica particle designed, tested and intended for use in applications up to 15,000 psi (1034 bar). HSS particle technology is also available in HPLC particle sizes (3.5 and 5 µm) in the HSS family of HPLC columns, enabling seamless transfer between HPLC and UPLC technology platforms.
