ACQUITY Arc Multi-Dimensional Liquid Chromatography (MDLC) System

The Waters Arc MDLC System allows chemists to increase sensitivity and selectivity, eliminate unwanted interferences, characterize the most complex samples, and perform separations that are normally incompatible with a mass spectrometer by adding a second reversed-phase separation to the experiment.

The system is comprised of two Quaternary Solvent Managers (QSM), a Sample Manager with Flow-Through Needle (SM-FTN), a Column Manager, and single or dual-detectors. Additionally, divert valves are used when choosing the 30-cm Column Heater (CH) product.

The ACQUITY Arc MDLC System is set up to take a heart cut from the first dimension to another dimension by using a loop trap for peak refocusing. Achieve increased resolution of a specific elution in one dimension and use a different set of conditions on a second separation.

The ACQUITY Arc MDLC System is specifically designed for MDLC applications. Two columns with different column chemistries (up to 150 mm length) can be housed with independent temperature control for each column and operation and active solvent pre-heaters, providing versatility for orthogonal separations.
