Key Points for Method Development Using UPLC and Transfer to HPLC - Live Webinar on August 21

Solving non-specific sample adsorption! Improved peak shape and sensitivity with new technology, featuring low adsorption and bio-inert LC with excellent reproducibility and durability.

The ACQUITY Premier system incorporates the new MaxPeak High Performance Surfaces (HPS) technology, which effectively reduces sample loss due to nonspecific adsorption caused by interactions with metals, while providing the following benefits: ■ Ideal for the analysis of organic acids, organophosphates, oligonucleotides, peptides, glycoproteins, phospholipids, veterinary drugs, chelating agents, and more. ■ Improved sensitivity and reduced risk of peak omission. ■ Elimination of column and system passivation and conditioning, saving time and costs. ■ Enhanced reproducibility and reliability of results. A variety of low-adsorption columns featuring MaxPeak High Performance Surfaces (HPS) technology are also available. When used in combination with the system, they enable more reliable analyses. *We also offer online briefings and demonstrations, so please feel free to contact us.

• Analytical Equipment and Devices

Demonstrates excellent analytical skills. LC improves lab productivity, efficiency, and throughput simultaneously.

UltraPerformance LC (UPLC) is the result of a total system innovation that has redesigned all aspects of traditional HPLC, including packing material technology, column design, injectors, fluid delivery systems, and detectors. UPLC technology was developed to simultaneously enhance laboratory productivity, efficiency, and throughput for scientists seeking reliable technology. Its success has already been demonstrated through thousands of peer-reviewed papers, application notes, and significant process improvements, making UPLC a standard technology that delivers important scientific and business benefits in leading companies and research institutions around the world. We offer a diverse lineup that allows for effective use of this technology not only in research settings but also in production management. Since the launch of ACQUITY UPLC in 2004, Waters has continued to pursue further innovations, and the new ACQUITY UPLC PLUS series has been introduced, achieving even greater flexibility, performance, and ease of use.

• Separation device
• Analytical Equipment and Devices

The separation energy, sensitivity, and speed have dramatically improved.

With UPLC technology, you can invest in the future by having the robustness and reliability to perform existing HPLC analytical methods within a single system, while optimally operating UPLC columns with particle sizes of 2 μm or less. The ACQUITY UPLC(R) system family serves as a platform for LC technology that can be utilized regardless of separation requirements, making it easy to enhance productivity and facilitate method transfer between facilities. 【Features】 - Six types of UPLC particles based on ethylene-bridged hybrid, High Strength Silica, and Charged Surface Hybrid - 22 types of stationary phases - Seven types of application-specific chemistries - Designed to seamlessly deliver performance with the ultra-low dispersion ACQUITY UPLC system - Over 200 options (column sizes and chemistries) available to select the optimal column that balances separation capability and throughput For more details, please contact us or download the catalog. *The catalog will be a digest version. If you need the full version, please contact us.

• Other laboratory equipment and containers

Improve productivity! A lineup of columns that maximizes lab performance.

This is the latest high-performance LC column family that maximizes the performance of laboratory LC systems. With high column efficiency, it achieves superior throughput and high separation compared to fully porous particle columns. It offers 1.6μm for UPLC, which realizes the ultimate theoretical plate count, and 2.7μm for HPLC/UHPLC, which is practical with low back pressure, allowing you to choose the optimal column for each analysis from a total of seven types of chemistry. Whether you want to separate complex samples or maintain separation while improving throughput, it delivers results beyond expectations. 【Features】 - Adoption of solid-core (core-shell) particles to maximize column efficiency - Particle size of 1.6μm for UPLC separation and 2.7μm for UHPLC/HPLC separation - A chemistry lineup that broadens selectivity for method development - Seven types of chemistry lineup: C18, C18+, T3, C8, Shield RP18, Phenyl, HILIC - Easy and seamless transfer of methods between 1.6μm and 2.7μm - Excellent reproducibility between batches and columns through comprehensive management of the entire manufacturing process from particle synthesis to final product

• Separation device

HPLC that prevents human errors and improves the efficiency of analytical work.

In the quality control (QC) lab, there is a demand for product releases within increasingly strict timelines and budgets while addressing the ever-changing stringent compliance and data quality requirements. Meanwhile, the challenge of securing personnel with skills in LC analysis is becoming more pronounced, exacerbating these issues. The Alliance iS HPLC system provides reliable analytical results from the first run, shortening the product release cycle. Additionally, its software design prevents human errors that could lead to deviations, thereby strengthening the QC lab.

• Analytical Equipment and Devices

This course is designed to meet the requests of many customers and expands and enriches the content of the previously popular course "Organic Structure Analysis" by including applied topics such as 2D-NMR analysis and chemical decomposition analysis. It is an ideal course for those who have taken the beginner course and want to deepen their understanding of organic structure analysis to aid in research and development.

[Speaker] Yohei Kawada, Director of the Resource Circulation Promotion Office, Resource Circulation Division, Ministry of the Environment [Key Lecture Content] In Europe, a proposal for the ELV regulation has been made, which includes the mandatory minimum content of recycled plastics in automobiles. Building a recycled plastic market to support the stable production of our country's automobile industry is an urgent and important issue. Through initiatives for collaboration between industry and academia, the Ministry of the Environment has established a "Consortium for Building a Market for Recycled Materials for Automobiles" since last year, aimed at advancing the construction of a recycled plastic market. This lecture will introduce the initiatives of the consortium and the concept of a centralized hub for establishing a stable supply system for recycled plastics for automobiles. [Lecture Items] 1.
