Even under the best conditions, analytical LC columns deteriorate over time from chemical or particulate contamination. With VanGuard Column Protection products, you can now achieve maximum lifetime and performance from your columns.
VanGuard column products are optimized to protect and prolong analytical column lifetimes without compromising chromatographic performance. Available in a wide selection of particle sizes and stationary phases across HPLC, UHPLC, and UPLC, VanGuard Column Protection products are ideally suited for the physical and chemical protection of all Waters analytical columns.
Overview
Remove particulates and chemical contamination found in samples and mobile phases
Maintain separation resolution and efficiency by minimizing chromatographic peak dispersion and tailing with patent pending low dead volume design
Eliminate leaks and voids by connecting directly to Waters UPLC, HPLC, and UHPLC columns
Compatible with pressures up to 18,000 psi for UPLC and UHPLC columns
Recommended Use: To extend LC column lifetime while maintaining chromatographic performance.
