Symmetry Silica C18 Prep Guard Cartridge, 100Å, 5 µm, 7.8 mm X 10 mm, 1/pk
Preparative HPLC can sometimes be difficult, as samples can sometimes contaminate or even foul your analytical column, leading to constant column regeneration and cleaning. But with the Symmetry C18 Prep Guard Cartridge, your Symmetry HPLC Column will be well protected from those harmful contaminants. This guard cartridge is packed with the same column packing material that the Symmetry C18 Column offers, making it a chemically stable column protection solution. Plus, when the guard cartridge becomes worn due to use, you can just replace it with another. This all adds up to increased column lifetimes, enhanced overall column performance and most importantly, a more efficient lab for all. Add the Symmetry Silica C18 Prep Guard Cartridge to your toolkit today.
How do you install the Symmetry C18 Prep Guard Cartridge?
To properly install this guard cartridge, you need the Prep Guard Holder. This holder is placed between the injector and analytical column to provide an extra step of protection for the mobile phase stream to go through. What’s more, the silica guard cartridge has the same internal diameter as the analytical column, making this a truly seamless column protection solution.
Symmetry HPLC Columns set the standard for drug analysis, but what happens when those columns are used constantly over time?
They could not be performing as they should after repeated use, even with proper column regeneration and cleaning procedures followed properly. That’s where HPLC guard cartridges come into consideration. These cartridges filter out contaminants in the mobile phase stream before entering the analytical column. That kind of protection is huge when data validation is of the utmost importance.
At Waters, we offer much more than just guard cartridges, too. We have everything from analytical and preparative chromatography columns to lab informatics and full LC-MS systems ready to push your lab into the future. Shop lab equipment to explore everything we have to offer.
How Do I Install the Symmetry C18 Prep Guard Cartridge?
The Symmetry C18 Prep Guard Cartridge must be paired with the Prep Guard Holder (PN# 186006912) to be properly installed between the analytical column and mobile phase injector.
