Pico-Tag C18 Column, 60Å, 4 µm, 3.9 mm X 150 mm, 1/pk

To perform the required reversed-phase Amino Acid Analysis of Protein Hydrolysates, add the Pico-Tag C18 Column to your lab equipment collection. The Pico-Tag C18 Column is delivered using a proprietary bonding and packing technique pioneered by Waters. Pico-Tag is the most extensively used method for HPLC amino acid analysis because of this bonding mechanism, which produces a long-lasting and high-efficiency stationary phase that allows for the separation of amino acids. You can use the generally known quality control processes to design methods that use the Pico-Tag C18 Column.

The Pico-Tag C18 Column is made with ultra-pure chemicals in an ISO-certified facility. To ensure great, repeatable performance, each batch of particles is examined and the results are held to restricted specification ranges. Furthermore, each lab equipment is subjected to extensive individual testing. A Performance Chromatogram and Certificate of Batch Analysis are always provided to confirm that you receive high-quality equipment from Waters.

The Pico-Tag C18 Column is manufactured under tight quality control procedures to ensure that, when used in conjunction with Pico-Tag reagents, eluents, and the HPLC system, the lab equipment will provide the speed, resolution, and sensitivity required for amino acid analysis.

Because liquid chromatography columns have finite lifetimes, it is critical to manage them with care. The number of injections, sample and solvent cleanliness, frequency of solvent changes, as well as handling and storage techniques, can all affect the Pico-Tag Column's lifetime. If a change in the retention of a given chemical resolution between two compounds' peak shapes is noticed, it is recommended that prompt efforts be made to discover the cause. Any separation results should not be trusted until the cause has been identified.

We recommend that you also invest in the Amino Acid Standard (AccQ-Tag, Pico-Tag, AccQ-Tag Ultra). Many applications necessitate amino acid analysis (AAA). Proteins are made up of amino acids, which are also used as intermediates in many metabolic pathways. AAA is used to assess protein concentrations, identify proteins, and detect structural variations in both qualitative and quantitative ways. This particular listing contains 10 1mL ampules of amino acid standards for use with AccQTag Ultra, AccQTag, or PICOTag.
