Waters' new Acquity UPLC Plus series sets new performance benchmarks to keep pace with evolving lab needs
Waters has now introduced Acquity UPLC Plus series in a bid to keep pace with the evolving laboratory needs. The three new Acquity systems: Class PLUS, H-Class PLUS Bio, and I-Class Plus Systems are designed to provide flexibility, performance and ease-of-use.
The applications span from complex peptide mapping to routine product release testing. The product can help academic, pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industry laboratories to meet their research, development and quality control objectives. Acquity UPLC Plus systems made its industry debut at the Analytica Conference held between April 10 – 13, in Munich, Germany.
“When introduced in 2004, the Acquity UPLC System transformed laboratory science by bringing dramatic business and scientific benefits to the analytical process. And it was met with overwhelming customer acclaim considering it had been 30 years since liquid chromatography saw such dramatic performance improvements,” said Eric Grumbach, director, product marketing, Chromatography Systems, Waters. “At Waters, innovation is about more than just performance. It’s about listening to the customer and continuously pushing our LC technology forward to find faster, simpler, and better ways to support the work that they do,” he added.
The Acquity UPLC H-Class PLUS and H-Class PLUS Bio Systems are quaternary UPLC systems designed for high-resolution, high-sensitivity separations of complex samples with the robustness to run all modes of chromatography: ion exchange, size exclusion, hydrophilic interaction, hydrophobic interaction, and reversed. These systems are especially well-suited as an inlet to mass spectrometry, for streamlined method development, and for routine analysis laboratories running HPLC, UHPLC or UPLC analytical methods.
The new range of UPLC system is designed to generate ultra-efficient, narrow peaks and to improve the sensitivity of optical detection or mass spectrometry. With industry-leading, ultra-low dispersion and delay volumes, it is an ideal system for laboratories seeking the highest chromatographic resolution and productivity possible in a UPLC system.
Waters is the world’s leading specialty measurement company employing 7,000 employees worldwide. It operates directly in 31 countries, including 15 manufacturing facilities, and with products available in over 100 countries.
