Isolator Column
Use the Isolator Column to isolate and separate samples that need to be analyzed from background contaminants, thus removing interference and allowing for extremely low detection limits. The lab equipment has been specially designed to be used with Waters ACQUITY Application Specific Kits. Application of the Isolator Column are wide and include Perfluorinated Compounds (PFCs/PFOA/PFOS) and Bisphenol-A. Some key cutting-edge technological advances that are utilized in other columns in the ACQUITY UPLC product family are also featured in the Isolator Column. You can be certain of the compatibility of the column with the ACQUITY UPLC Systems as it has been designed, tested, and certified to operate with ACQUITY UPLC Systems.
The Isolator Column is in the flow path between the mixer of the binary solvent manager and the injector of the sample manager. During analysis, the isolator column retains the background perfluorinated compounds, separating them from analytes of interest. The increased retention time of the background compounds makes them easily distinguishable by mass analysis.
To explore the complete range of Isolator columns and other similar products, or to find more products that are compatible and add them to your analytical arsenal, we recommend that you shop for lab equipment from our website and catalog. You will also come across several reference materials that will help you make informed choices by learning more about our technology and development.

Why Are PFCs Studied And Hard To Detect?
Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) are strongly associated with a variety of human disorders, including cancer, which makes it important to monitor the level of PFCs in consumables like drinking water. However, as this class of molecules is particularly chemically inert and resistant to degradation, it is particularly hard to isolate and detect.
