Seamless HPLC to UPLC method transfer

You're looking to upgrade your laboratory's analytical technology, but worried about migrating validated methods from high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).  Waters is ready to help you confidently make the change. With the assistance of Waters Analytical Services, you can be assured that transferring to an ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) or ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) system will not compromise your validated methods.


Expert analytical method development setup and optimization

With the ever-increasing globalization and consolidation of resources, it is not always possible to perform analyses on the same type of instrumentation across different locations. When this happens, there may be a need to create an equivalent method for a Waters instrument that was developed on an HPLC system from another manufacturer. Waters Analytical Professional Services can assist you with meeting your original method criteria.
