Product Description
The GUARD COLUMN is an in-demand, first-rate chromatography accessory engineered for preeminent HPLC protection. With optimum performance up to 6000 psi (model-dependent), it is compatible with particle sizes from 3-10 m and fits standard HPLC 1/16 fittings. Featuring rare versatility with a choice of C18, C8, silica, or phenyl packing material, it is universally compatible across most HPLC brands. The compact, stainless steel or PEEK design is leak-proof, easy to install, and ensures highly reliable particulate filtration, prolonging the analytical columns life. Ideal for exporters, importers, manufacturers, suppliers, and traders in India.
Versatile Usage for Optimum HPLC Sample Protection
The GUARD COLUMN is specifically designed for sample and analytical column protection in HPLC systems. Its primary application is as a first line of defense against sample particulate contamination, ensuring the main analytical column maintains peak efficiency and longevity. Suitable for various application mediaincluding solvents and bio-samplesit is highly effective in both research and industrial labs. Usage type is manual, passive, and maintenance-free, making it ideal for high-throughput laboratories focused on reliable, repeatable results.
Secure Packaging and Convenient Sampling
Each GUARD COLUMN undergoes meticulous packaging procedures to ensure safe transport and arrival in first-rate condition. Express shipping and quick dispatch options allow for prompt delivery, so users experience minimum downtime. Standard exports include tamper-evident, cushioned packaging that guarantees product integrity through transit. Samples are available upon request, in line with our customer-first sample policy, enabling end-users to validate performance before committing to bulk orders.
FAQs of GUARD COLUMN:
Q: How does the GUARD COLUMN enhance the life of an HPLC analytical column?
A: By trapping particulates and contaminants before they reach the main analytical column, the GUARD COLUMN prevents blockages and degradation, significantly prolonging column life and ensuring more consistent analytical results.
Q: What packing materials are available for the GUARD COLUMN?
A: Depending on application requirements, the GUARD COLUMN can be filled with preeminent C18, C8, silica, or phenyl materials, each tailored for specific sample and analyte types.
Q: Where can the GUARD COLUMN be installed within an HPLC system?
A: It is to be installed before the main analytical column, connected via standard 1/16 HPLC fittings, guaranteeing optimum protection at the earliest stage of sample flow.
Q: When should the GUARD COLUMN be replaced or refilled?
A: Replacement or refilling is recommended when a noticeable increase in backpressure is observed or as part of routine HPLC system maintenance, depending on sample load and laboratory protocol.
Q: What benefits does the GUARD COLUMN offer over traditional inline filters?
A: Unlike simple inline filters, the GUARD COLUMN offers specialized particulate removal tailored to specific chemical environments, superior to general filters in protecting sensitive analytical columns.
Q: Is the GUARD COLUMN compatible with all HPLC brands and solvents?
A: Yes, it is designed for universal compatibility with most HPLC brands and can withstand a broad range of solvents due to its stainless steel and PEEK construction.
