How to Choose a Column Separation scientists continue to search for innovative solutions to improve chromatographic performance. With a wide array of column choices and formats, they have the ability to select the ideal column for their application. The following section introduces Waters particle technologies and column formats to help you choose the best column to deliver throughput, resolution, and efficiency for your next chromatographic challenge. Particle Technology Reproducibility and transferability are the cornerstones of Waters BEH, CSH, HSS, and solid-core particle technologies. Our premier lines of scalable LC columns exhibit all of the chemical and physical characteristics you would expect from modern LC packing materials. BEH Technology CSH Technology HSS Technology Solid-Core Technology High retentivity for basic compounds Exceptional peak shape at elevated ph Good universal column choice for a wide variety of compounds Stable across a wide ph range For separations at high temperatures (80 C) Good separations for basic compounds under low ph conditions Excellent MS performance with formic acid as a mobile phase modifier Fast ph switching and column equilibration High retentivity for polar organic compounds and metabolites Balanced retention of polar and hydrophobic analytes High strength silica for mechanical stability Maximum efficiency Increased sensitivity Seamless scalability from UPLC to UHPLC to HPLC ETHYLENE BRIDGED HYBRID (BEH) PARTICLE TECHNOLOGY Ethylene Bridged Hybrid (BEH) columns lead the industry for chromatographic versatility, chemical resistance, and mechanical stability. You can use them at extremes of ph and temperature to enhance retention and specificity for complex mixtures of acidic, alkaline, and neutral species. The BEH-particle family includes general-purpose and application-specific bonded phases that serve application areas that rely on ACQUITY UPLC, ACQUITY UPC, 2 ACQUITY APC, and XBridge Columns. Particle Synthesis *US Patents 6,686,035; 7,223,473; 7,250,214. Refer to Ethylene-Bridged [BEH Technology ] Hybrids and Their Use in Liquid Chromatography whitepaper (720001159EN) for further detail. CH 2 CH2 OE t OEt O O Et O O O OEt O Polyethoxysilane (BPEOS) O O Et OEt n 4 OEt Tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) + OEt CH2 OEt CH2 OEt Bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane (BTEE) 75

CHARGED SURFACE HYBRID (CSH) PARTICLE TECHNOLOGY Columns packed with charged surface hybrid particles manifest the best attributes of BEH particles. CSH stationary phases provide chromatographic selectivity and superior performance in the presence of mobile phases of low ionic strength. The optimized surface charge, pore properties, and bonded phases make charged-surface, hybrid-based columns ideal for rapid method development. ACQUITY UPLC CSH and XSelect CSH HPLC Columns offer easily scaled analytical solutions, from sub-2-µm to preparative-particle dimensions. The Charged-Surface Hybrid Particle Unbonded BEH Particle Apply Controlled Surface Charge Bond and End Cap HIGH STRENGTH SILICA (HSS) PARTICLE TECHNOLOGY High-strength silica [HSS] technology was developed specifically to complement the chromatographic performance of BEH and CSH particles. Compared with the ethylenebridged BEH and CSH particles, the HSS particle s higher silanophilicity (100% silica) offers chromatographers significant advantages, including increased retention of polar compounds and significantly different selectivity. Additionally, as its name implies, the HSS particle possesses the mechanical strength to operate at pressures as high as 18,000 psi (1240 bar). ACQUITY UPLC HSS and XSelect HSS Columns are the first choice for proven silica-based chromatographic performance. OEt EtO OEt EtO O O OEt EtO Polyethoxysilane (PEOS) EtO EtO OEt EtO Tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) SOLID-CORE PARTICLE TECHNOLOGY Compared to columns packed with fully-porous particles, those packed with superficially porous particles demonstrate higher chromatographic efficiency and lower backpressures. The optimized porous layer that surrounds the solid-silica substrate gives rise to the key benefits of speed and efficiency. UPLC columns packed with CORTECS 1.6 µm particles yield maximum efficiency when used with the ultra-low dispersion ACQUITY UPLC instrument platform. Fully scalable CORTECS Columns packed with 2.7 µm particles offer maximum flexibility, providing increased efficiencies at the backpressure limits of UHPLC and HPLC operation. Solid-Core Particle The tightly controlled thickness of a highly porous silica layer surrounding the inner solid-core yields reproducible retention and method robustness for a wide range of sample conditions. Particle Diameter Monodisperse particle sizing provides highly permeable columns and, consequently, low backpressures. Packing Efficiency The increased efficiency of a solid-core particle produces more chromatographic resolution, which helps reduce the effort to separate co-eluting peaks. Bonding Technology Packed with solid-core particles, CORTECS Columns complement our family of particle technologies, offering unique ligand attributes that aid in method development. 76 www.waters.com/columns www.waters.com/order

Column Configurations for Any LC System COLUMN NOMENCLATURE Our fully-scalable particle technologies ensure that our LC columns perform with a broad range of chromatographic instrumentation. Depending on the goals of a separation, the instrument platform used, or the sample type, you can choose the most suitable column that is matched to your system s configuration without adversely affecting the chromatographic result. The following table serves as a guide for selecting an appropriate LC column according to instrument classification. Nano/Micro UPLC UHPLC HPLC Preparative ACQUITY UPLC M-CLASS BEH (1.7 µm) ACQUITY UPLC M-CLASS CSH (1.7 µm) ACQUITY UPLC M-CLASS HSS (1.8 µm) ACQUITY UPLC BEH (1.7 µm) ACQUITY UPLC CSH (1.7 µm) ACQUITY UPLC HSS (1.8 µm) CORTECS UPLC (1.6 µm) XBridge BEH XP (2.5 µm) XSelect CSH XP (2.5 µm) XSelect HSS XP (2.5 µm) CORTECS (2.7 µm) XBridge BEH (3.5, 5 µm) XSelect CSH XP (3.5, 5 µm) XSelect HSS XP (3.5, 5 µm) XBridge BEH OBD (5, 10 µm) XSelect CSH OBD (5, 10 µm) XSelect HSS OBD (5 µm) COLUMN CONFIGURATIONS System dispersion, the combined effect of tubing and its connections, sample valves, flow cells, and column end-fittings, is inherent in every chromatographic system. Dispersion causes sample peaks to broaden, owing to dilution, that begins at the injector and ends at the detector s outflow. As the size of particles in an LC column are reduced or the internal diameter and length of the column is decreased, the potential peak broadening in a non-optimized LC system increases. Optimum column configuration, therefore, depends mainly on the extent of sample dispersion within the LC system. The following table summarizes the characteristics of Waters LC Systems and matches the column configuration that maintains chromatographic efficiency.

When you transfer LC methods, instrument bandspread is one of the most practical LC-instrument parameters to determine. Knowing the bandspread value helps you develop your own compatible methods, allowing you to seamlessly scale column dimensions or transfer methods between different instrumentation platforms and laboratory functions. The following table recommends column configurations based on nominal instrument bandspread values.

As such, they are intended for reference only. Any adjustment to a system s plumbing, connectivity, and configuration changes the instrument bandspread, affecting the quality of chromatography. 82 www.waters.com/columns www.waters.com/order
