Symmetry Shield RP8 Column, 100Å, 3.5 µm, 4.6 mm X 50 mm, 1/pk

Achieve great reproducibility by employing the Waters Symmetry Shield RP8 Column's unique characteristic of narrow specification ranges since the lab equipment provides the industry's tightest ligand surface coverage (ligand density). This ensures that resolution shifts are low, resulting in more consistent results from batch to batch and column to column.

The Symmetry Shield RP8 Column is ideal for very aqueous mobile phases, especially when low organic mobile phase conditions are required. The implanted polar group in the lab equipment inhibits pore dewetting, ensuring that your analyte is retained and eliminating the need for a lengthy re-wetting and column re-equilibration process. In addition to this, these reversed-phase columns contain Waters patented embedded polar group technology that "shields" the silica's residual silanol surface from highly basic analytes. The reduced silanol activity for the Symmetry Shield RP8 column significantly improves peak shape and resolution.

The Symmetry Shield RP8 Column has less basic compound retention than traditional columns due to its decreased silanol activity, making it an effective method development tool. Furthermore, the Symmetry Shield RP8 Column provides improved peak shape across the pH range, thanks to its high bonding density and low residual silanol activity of packing materials. This means you can optimize your procedure by working at neutral or low pH without sacrificing the peak shape. By giving lower levels of detection and quantitation, the analytical column will assist you in creating new methods faster and increasing laboratory productivity.

Because the Symmetry Shield RP8 Column has optimum performance and a combination of two key variables that influence the column's lifetime, hydrolytic stability of the packing material and mechanical stability of the packed bed, it will last you a long time and save you money on lab equipment.

Protect your analytical column by investing in the Waters Symmetry Shield RP8 VanGuard Cartridge, 100Å, 3.5 µm, 3.9 mm X 5 mm, 3/pk. The lab equipment is manufactured using the exact same materials as the column and designed to protect your column from harm by removing particulate and chemical contaminants from the mobile phase.
