State of-the-art reversed-phase C8 bonded silica columns for analytical and preparative HPLC separations provide outstanding peak shape for improved sensitivity, resolution and quantitation
Waters has announced a major addition to the company's SunFire brand of silica-based HPLC chemistries, the SunFire C8 analytical columns.
The introduction of the new reversed-phase C8 bonded-silica columns is said to set a new performance standard in silica-based HPLC technology.
Waters says the SunFire columns provide outstanding peak shape for improved sensitivity, resolution and quantitation, low pH stability for improved column lifetime, ultra-low MS bleed, and enhanced selectivity which reduces laboratory costs while making method development simpler, faster and more compatible with MS detection.
The combination of superior mass loading and Waters's unique patent-pending Optimum Bed Density (OBD) preparative design ensures equivalent chromatographic performance from analytical to preparative dimensions, eliminating the need for any subsequent time-consuming method redevelopment.
"First introduced at HPLC 2004, the SunFire brand is gaining wide customer acceptance as scientists perform side-by-side comparisons against all leading competitive silica-based HPLC columns," said Steve Collier, SunFire product marketing manager.
"This announcement continues that momentum of providing solutions unmatched in performance and scalability".
SunFire columns are available in 3.5, 5, and 10-micron spherical particles in various lengths and internal diameters, and can be purchased either online or through a Waters sales representative.
