Waters Arc Premier System for liquid chromatography

The Waters Arc Premier System is a liquid chromatography system optimised for chromatographic separations on 2.5–3.5 µm columns that also feature Waters’ MaxPeak High Performance Surface (HPS) technology. The system has been designed to complement the company’s MaxPeak Premier Columns to virtually eliminate the surface interactions that occur between sample analytes and instrument and column hardware, saving laboratories time wasted on passivation and providing confidence in separations results.

Analytical scientists working in method development and quality control laboratories can typically waste hours and days re-running or troubleshooting analytical methods that fail to reproduce an expected test result, such as missing low concentrations of a target analyte known to be in the sample or that fail to detect an impurity. The Waters Arc Premier System and columns are designed to help increase speed, consistency and confidence in analytical results for scientists working to develop, transfer and run chromatographic assays that are central to business and laboratory operations.

The system delivers reproducibility and repeatability for scientists developing methods for stability testing, impurity profiling and product release data in compliance with regulatory requirements. The combined solution is said to provide reproducibility without sacrificing performance, along with system ruggedness for delivering consistently chromatographic results in test after test.

MaxPeak HPS technology is a hybrid organic/inorganic surface technology exclusive to Waters’ MaxPeak Premier Systems and Columns. It forms a barrier between the sample and the metal surfaces of both the system and column, mitigating, or eliminating altogether, non-specific adsorption.

MaxPeak Premier Columns are designed to be a universal column platform for chromatographers who need to reduce variability risks and save time, while increasing recovery and sensitivity. The column offerings now available for the Arc Premier System include MaxPeak Premier 2.5 µm columns in the Atlantis Premier, XBridge Premier and XSelect Premier Product families.
