GPC/APC Columns

Efficiently separate small and large molecules from complex matrices in foods, pharmaceuticals, and natural products with Waters" comprehensive range of ACQUITY Advanced Polymer Chromatography (APC) and Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) Columns. These columns are meticulously designed to deliver precision, speed, and reliability in molecular weight determination and polymer analysis.

Leveraging cutting-edge column technology, the ACQUITY APC Columns enhance polymer chromatography by significantly reducing analysis times while improving resolution. This facilitates detailed separations of polymer peaks, which is essential for analyzing complex polymer architectures such as copolymers and blends. Advanced particle technology ensures uniform pore size distribution, leading to sharper peak resolutions and clearer molecular structure separations, which are crucial for new material development and stringent quality control.

The ACQUITY APC system stands out for its ability to dramatically shorten analysis times. Traditional GPC methods can be time-consuming; however, the ACQUITY APC system conducts analyses in a fraction of that time, boosting laboratory throughput without compromising on detail or precision.

With enhanced column stability and reduced system dispersion, the ACQUITY APC Columns yield high-quality data that is both accurate and reproducible. The precision-engineered columns minimize band broadening and improve separation efficiency, allowing for more precise quantification and characterization of sample components. Waters" GPC Columns are celebrated for their robustness and adaptability, which are suitable for a diverse range of applications. Built to withstand the demands of gel permeation chromatography, these columns effectively analyze various polymers, whether in organic solvents or aqueous solutions, and consistently deliver reliable, repeatable results over extended periods.
