XTerra Shield RP18 Prep Guard Cartridge, 125Å, 5 µm, 30 mm X 10 mm, 1/pk
Preparative HPLC chromatography is incredibly important as you develop methods that can be properly scaled up and adopted by an MS system. But how can you protect your preparative column from contaminants in the mobile phase stream?
With the XTerra Shield RP18 Prep Guard Cartridge, you can do exactly that and so much more. This column protection solution incorporates seamlessly into your existing analytical workflow to provide that enhanced protection from the elements. Plus, this guard cartridge offers the same diameter as the XTerra Shield RP18 Column, making for a truly seamless experience that’s not subjected to leaking backpressures. Add the XTerra Shield RP18 Prep Guard Cartridge to your toolkit today and you’ll be better protected from contaminants that can negatively affect your data.
How does the XTerra Shield RP18 Prep Guard Cartridge work?
Placed between the mobile phase injector and the analytical column, this prep guard cartridge acts as a barrier against particulate contaminants from entering the mobile phase stream. By deterring these contaminants before they enter the analytical column, your data will be more accurate, leading to decreased need for constant reproducibility of your separations. What’s more, the guard cartridge is packed with the same sorbent used in the XTerra Shield RP18 Column. This speaks to the truly seamless solution that this prep guard cartridge can provide your preparative HPLC assays.
The XTerra Shield RP18 Prep Guard Cartridge isn’t the only thing you need if you haven’t installed a guard cartridge into your assays, though. This specific guard cartridge requires aPrep Guard Holder to be properly installed. Just couple your prep guard cartridge with this prep guard holder and you’ll be ready to incorporate enhanced column protection into your everyday.
Once you’ve added the XTerra Shield RP18 Prep Guard Cartridge to your cart, make sure to shop lab equipment to see all of the other incredible offerings we have at Waters. We truly have everything you need to be successful in the lab, including quality control reference materials for LC-MS system benchmarking and lab software you’ll need to properly compile and study data.
