Waters launches new Acquity and XSelect LC columns

Waters has launched new additions to its Acquity and XSelect ranges of liquid chromatography (LC) columns, which use new technology to deliver a number of key benefits.

The new Acquity CSH and XSelect HPLC columns are available in 1.7 (UPLC), 3.5 and 5 micron (HPLC) particles and incorporate the science firm’s patent-pending Charged Surface Hybrid (CSH) technology.

According to the firm, this allows the products to feature a wide range of selectives, better reproducibility and faster column re-equilibration after mobile-phase pH changes, among other advantages.

Doug McCabe, senior marketing manager of chemistry commercial operations for Waters, said the new products have been designed with feedback from industry professionals in mind.

He said: “These new UPLC and HPLC columns, together with the Acquity UPLC H-Class System and Fusion Method Development software, offer separation scientists a powerful method development solution.”

Last month, Waters unveiled its new Xevo TQ-S and Xevo G2 QTof benchtop mass spectrometers, which it said are the most powerful in their class.
