What is Waters Acquity UPLC?
The Waters ACQUITY Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) System uses a high-resolution liquid chromatography technique for analyzing the molecular components of compounds. Our system is equipped with RI, FLR, and PDA detectors.
Can you use UPLC method for HPLC?
Do not use the ACQUITY UPLC column in-line filter unit with an HPLC column. Set the high pressure limit of the ACQUITY Binary Solvent Manager to the maximum pressure recommended for the HPLC column.
Can you use UPLC column on HPLC?
Yes, HPLC columns can also be used with UHPLC systems and due to the smaller system dead volume the column performance in plate numbers will be higher. UHPLC systems are especially endowed to endure high pressures caused by the small particle sizes.
What is the difference between UPLC and HPLC?
A: Both HPLC and UPLC are both liquid chromatography techniques used to separate the different components found in mixtures. However, UPLC operates at higher pressures (15,000 psi) and allows for lower particle sizes in columns, while HPLC operates at lower pressures (max <6000 psi).
What is UPLC used for?
UPLC is an important method used in the laboratory which reduces the cost and increases the efficiency of analysis required for developing and validating the method. With UPLC, the speed of the separation increases and efficiency improves, which results in the fast development of methodologies.
Is UPLC more expensive than HPLC?
Instrument cost for HPLC are approximately 20% lower than the UHPLC.
Which is better UPLC or HPLC?
How much faster is UPLC than HPLC?
While HPLC may take anywhere between 15-20 minutes to deliver separations, UPLC can deliver separations in 3-10 minutes.
Is UPLC and UHPLC the same?
As vendors entered the market with similar instruments UHPLC was coined as a way to refer to instruments similar to UPLC since UPLC is a Waters trademark. The two terms are understood to be synonymous.
Why is UPLC is with a higher efficiency than HPLC?
The key difference between HPLC and UPLC here is that UPLC has a clear advantage of HPLC, thanks to its higher pressure. This allows for shorter run times, lower solvent consumption and greater analyte separation and detection by the detector.
