Atlantis T3 Column, 100Å, 3 µm, 4.6 mm X 150 mm, 1/pk
Created to solve one of the most challenging issues facing chromatographers, retaining polar compounds, the Atlantis T3 columns by Waters are the market’s best choice for developing separations of polar and non-polar compounds. Through Waters’ experience and innovation, Atlantis T3 columns are industry leaders, providing superior performance, versatility, retention, and chromatographic stability for polar compounds, all while providing balanced retention for broad analyte measures. All of these benefits and years of research have culminated in the Atlantis T3 Column.
The Atlantis T3 Column is able to redefine polar compound retention as a result of intelligent stationary phase design. The advanced T3 bonding process makes use of a trifunctional C18-alkyl phase, bonded at an intermediate 1.6 µmol/m² ligand density to promote polar compound retention. The lower ligand density allows analytes to more easily access the pore structure of the material, where over 99% of retention occurs, enhancing the retention.
Designed to provide exceptional performance across an expansive range of compound polarities, the Atlantis T3 column is ideally suited as a universal reversed-phase column in open access environments. These columns are able to provide enhanced retention without necessitating reagents, which may cause suppression in the MS response. This enables lower limits of detection and quantitation for LC/MS methods.
Unlike traditional C18 columns, the T3 bonding process resists ligand cleavage by utilizing a trifunctional attachment of the C18 phase to the particle surface. This allows exceptional column life, even at a low pH. The T3 columns also use the proprietary T3 end-capping process, which is demonstrably more effective at reacting with the active sites of residual surface silanols than traditional TMS end-capping, leading to superior peak shape and stability.
All Atlantis T3 columns are manufactured in cGMP, ISO 9001:2000 certified plants, and each step is conducted within narrow tolerance ranges.
