ACQUITY APC Columns

Representing an industry first, APC Calibration Standards were specifically designed to match the molecular weight range of the ACQUITY APC XT Columns.  They eliminate the need to manually prepare custom standard calibration mixes as ACQUITY APC Calibration Standards provide the right number of data points for the targeted MW range.  In addition, calibration time on the ACQUITY APC system is reduced by a factor of 3-5x, enabling higher confidence in the accuracy of your results by performing more frequent calibrations. Due to LC system, sample preparation and laboratory environment variances, routine calibration is critical to achieving high accuracy in MW determination. 

The ACQUITY APC Standards are available in both polystyrene and polymethylmethacrylate configured into Low, Middle and High Molecular Weight Calibration Kits. They are also available in convenient Method Development Kits to include the full separation range of all three kits combined.

The ACQUITY APC Columns Selector will assist you in choosing the set of columns and calibration standards for your analysis.

The ACQUITY APC Column brand provides the necessary tools used to separate the most complex polymer samples.  The following table will help in choosing the correct column bank.

Reproducible column performance is one of the most critical factors for achieving long-term method reliability during polymer characterization. Each step of our column manufacturing process is monitored and tightly controlled to maintain unmatched product reproducibility. Every test, from raw material characterization to final batch analysis, is designed to ensure that ACQUITY APC Columns perform the same from column-to-column, batch-to-batch and year-to-year.
