The Waters Acquity UPLC system provides you with reproducible, dependable and data rich results for challenging separations. This UPLC system features a wide range of flow rates, back pressures and linear velocities, with increased throughput with high efficiency so you get the most for your time and resources. This contained tower uplc system holds a sample manager, column heater, binary solvent manager, and a PDA detector. This ultra-performance liquid chromatography system has a unique sub 2 m particle system that offers 3 times the efficiency of a 5 m system with 70% higher resolution. This higher resolution means more information from more samples in less time. The Waters UPLC system can then run separations at a flow rate 3 times faster than HPLC, without a loss in resolution. This Aquity system contains a PDA Detector, sampler manager autosampler, a binary solvent manager, as well as a solvent and waste tray.
