XBridge BEH C18 XP VanGuard Cartridge, 130Å, 2.5 µm, 2.1 mm X 5 mm, 3/pk
As the trusted solution for challenging chromatographic separations, Waters’ XBridge family of columns is designed for maximum flexibility in HPLC methods development. This lab equipment allows for robust separations to be developed in less time and with greater confidence by harnessing the full power of pH. The combination of cutting-edge bonding, end-capping, and particle synthesis used in these columns makes them an industry leader. When using an XBridge BEH C18 analytical column of either 2.1 or 3.0 mm, an XBridge BEH C18 XP Vanguard Cartridge can extend the column’s lifetime and performance, removing particulate matter from the mobile phase stream.
In addition to prolonging column lifetime, VanGuard Cartridges are able to remove particulates and chemical contamination without compromising the superior chromatographic performance of your column. This allows for cost-effective protection of the columns, making them last for more separations and eliminating system downtime.
Each order contains 3 cartridges with an inner diameter of 2.1 mm and a length of 5 mm. Operating limits include a pH range of 1 – 12 pH and a maximum pressure of 18,000 psi (1240 Bar). For best results, the XBridge BEH C18 XP VanGuard Cartridge can be paired with a VanGuard Cartridge Holder, 1/pk and a range of guard columns.
Packing materials used in all Waters VanGuard Cartridges are produced identically to those used in Waters HPLC and UPLC columns. For the best analytical results, ensure you select the correct size and packing material to match your preferred analytical column.
What Is The Warranty Associated With My VanGuard Cartridge?
Any cartridge that fails to perform satisfactorily can be replaced at no cost within 90 days of receipt of the product. When returned to Waters, all products must have a Return Authorization Number granted by the Waters Customer Service Department. Approval is subject to exclusions, including any physical damage to the cartridge as a result of misuse or abuse, or use with incompatible solvents, or use at incorrect temperatures or pressures. Failure or decreased performance as a consequence of normal use is also not covered under these terms. Your Waters representative can cover service and application questions as needed.
