XBridge BEH C18 XP Column, 130Å, 2.5 µm, 4.6 mm X 50 mm, 1/pk
With cutting-edge bonding technology, end-capping, and particle synthesis in addition to Waters’ industry-leading manufacturing and quality, XBridge BEH C18 XP Columns are a trusted solution for the most challenging chromatographic separations. Using the HPLC method development workhorse XBridge BEH C18 sorbent, the entire range of mobile phase pH is available, including superior low pH stability and ultra-low column bleed.
In addition to the benefits of XBridge BEH C18 sorbent, these columns use eXtended Performance [XP] 2.5 µm technology to produce immediate backpressure, making them compatible with HPLC, UHPLC, and UPLC pressures. This innovative approach to lab equipment provides a great deal of flexibility when transferring methods, enabling a seamless transition path towards the adoption of UPLC across laboratories.
The sorbent in XBridge BEH C18 XP Columns is packed in ultra-low dispersion hardware, enabling superior separation performance, robustness, and throughput. The use of the trifunctionally bonded C18 ligand makes this a universal column for most HPLC separations, giving chromatographers the widest possible pH range, superior low pH stability, and ultra-low column bleed.
XBridge BEH C18 XP Columns are manufactured using ultrapure reagents in a cGMP ISO 9001 certified facility, allowing for control of the chemical composition and purity of the final product. These well-controlled manufacturing processes allow for reproducibility that leads the industry. Each column is tested individually and includes a Performance Chromatogram and Certificate of Batch Analysis. Testing can be performed in laboratories using Reversed-Phase QC Reference Material.
XBridge BEH C18 XP Columns will exhibit maximum chromatographic performance when used with equipment from the ACQUITY UPLC System family of products.
How Should I Clean My XBridge BEH C18 XP Column?
If a flushing procedure does not solve any column performance issues, you will need to clean and regenerate the column. Your cleaning routine should match the property of your samples and stationary-phase type, and solubilize the suspected contaminant. Flush the column with 20 column volumes of solvent at an intermediate temperature of 45 degrees C, then reverse the sequence to return to the initial mobile-phase conditions. For reversed-phase columns, purge with a sequence of progressively non-polar solvents, for example, water-tomethanol to tetrahydrofuran to methylene chloride. If column performance does not improve after this process, contact a local Waters representative for additional support.
