Protecting your HPLC column from harmful contaminants shouldn’t be difficult, which is why we’re proud to offer the XTerra MS C18 Prep Guard Cartridge. Designed specifically to be used in conjunction with the XTerra MS C18 Prep Column, this guard cartridge acts as an extra step for the mobile phase stream to flow through, picking up and removing contaminants before they foul your column. We understand that all samples should be completely purified before separating or analyzing, but this guard cartridge can help extend overall column lifetime. Add the XTerra MS C18 Prep Guard Cartridge to your workflow today and enjoy those longer column lifetimes.

How does the XTerra MS C18 Prep Guard Cartridge work?
The guard cartridge itself needs to be chemically and mechanically stable under demanding chromatographic conditions, which is why it was designed to offer similar stability to the XTerra MS C18 Prep Column itself. The cartridge is packed with the same packing material as the column, and it offers the same diameter as the column so there’s no risk of leaking backpressures. What’s more, the prep guard cartridge seamlessly incorporates into your existing workflow, ensuring that you have prep HPLC protocol that’s easy to change to accommodate the cartridge.

To properly incorporate the XTerra MS C18 Prep Guard Cartridge into your workflow, you need more than just the cartridge. You also need the Cartridge Holder for proper installation. This holder is required, as the cartridge needs to sit between the mobile phase injector and column to work properly. The holder keeps everything in place and operating as it should. Plus, the holder is easy to disassemble when it comes time to replace the cartridge with a new one.
