UPLC Boasts Five Years of Proven Performance, Reduces Run Times and Solvent Use, and is Featured in More Than 400 Peer Reviewed Papers
MILFORD, Mass., June 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Waters Corporation (NYSE: WAT) spotlights the proven industry-leading performance of Waters(R) ACQUITY UltraPerformance LC(R) (UPLC(R)) System that is moving the entire analytical science industry forward at the 34th International Symposium on High-Performance Liquid Phase Separations and Related Techniques (HPLC 2009) in Dresden, Germany, June 29 to July 2, 2009.
Additionally, Waters published two new academic-quality books: The Quest for Ultra Performance in Liquid Chromatography; Origins of UPLC Technology and UltraPerformance Liquid Chromatography; a Technology Primer, both of which provide insight to this disruptive technology and document the overwhelming impact of ACQUITY UPLC on analytical chemistry.
'The introduction of the Waters ACQUITY UPLC system in 2004 was more than an innovative product introduction, it spurred a revolution in high performance liquid chromatography,' remarked Larry Schmid, President, Strategic Directions International, Los Angeles, California, consultants and advisors to the analytical instrument industry. 'ACQUITY UPLC inspired most other major HPLC suppliers to develop similar systems that have changed the dynamics of liquid separation in the lab, especially in relation to mass spectrometry sample introduction. The ACQUITY UPLC and other so-called 'fast LCs' provide greatly improved resolution and faster analysis, something laboratory scientists desperately needed. So five years on, the HPLC marketplace is now fundamentally different thanks to Waters' groundbreaking product development effort.'
With five years of experience and thousands of installed systems, ACQUITY UPLC reflects the laboratory requirements for a versatile system with more productivity, efficiency and throughput. For example, UPLC decreases sample run times up to a factor of 10, uses up to 95 percent less solvent, significantly enhances MS performance, and saves laboratory space and energy. More than 400 peer-reviewed papers and 300 applications notes leverage ACQUITY UPLC performance. Finally, it is important to recognize that UPLC is not defined by high pressure alone. ACQUITY UPLC was designed as a total system to leverage both ultra-high pressure and small particle separation; attributes that result in uniquely superior performance.
