Nano- and Microflow LC-MS Columns

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).

nanoACQUITY Columns and trap columns are the previous generation of columns for nano- and microflow LC-MS applications. They are being replaced by the new generation of ACQUITY UPLC M-Class columns: Higher pressure rating (15,000 psi/1,034 bar) enable higher flow rates and thus shorter run times and higher sample turnover. M-Class Columns are compatible with nanoACQUITY UPLC systems.

Columns designed for reliable nano, capillary, and microscale UPLC separations Waters nano columns offer purposefully-designed hardware to meet the different demands of today's nanoflow LC and LC-MS separations. The UPLC Column delivers superior chromatographic resolution and fully leverages the separation power of small sub-2-µm particles. The selected stationary phases for nano-LC and trapping columns provide an advantage developing fast and efficient separations for complex peptide and protein separations and other sample limited analyses. ACQUITY UPLC M-Class Columns (rated for 15,000 psi [1,000 bar]) allow for faster separations and are compatible with the nanoACQUITY UPLC system. The iKey Separation Device is an enabling technology behind the ionKey/MS System. It eliminates the need for traditional fittings and greatly simplifies the microflow-LC user experience.

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.
