Additional Information
XTerra MS C18 Prep Guard Cartridge, 125Å, 10 µm, 30 mm X 10 mm, 1/pk XTerra MS C18 Prep Columns are essential tools used in LC-MS labs across the globe. But how you can you protect this column from chemical fouling? With the XTerra MS C18 Prep Guard Cartridge, of course. This guard cartridge is placed between the prep column and mobile phase injector to act as an extra step for the mobile phase stream to move through. As contaminants pass into the guard cartridge, the cartridge will pick them up and prevent them from entering the prep column. Plus, when the XTerra MS C18 Prep Guard Cartridge grows worn and needs to be replaced, you can do so with another genuine guard cartridge from Waters. Upgrade your assays and better protect your prep HPLC column with the XTerra MS C18 Prep Guard Cartridge. How does the XTerra MS C18 Prep Guard Cartridge work? The cartridge itself is installed between the mobile phase injector and prep column. By acting as a filter for contaminants in the mobile phase stream to run through, this cartridge ensures that your analytical workflow isn’t marred by fouling of your column. But to properly install the XTerra MS C18 Prep Guard Cartridge, you also need the correct Cartridge Holder. A cartridge holder is required, as the guard cartridge doesn’t hold itself up when placed between the column and injector. For this specific cartridge, buy the Cartridge Holder to ensure proper guard cartridge installation. Although the XTerra MS C18 Prep Guard Cartridge does actively protect your prep column from contaminants, it’s no replacement for proper column cleaning and regeneration procedures. Please read the directions in the XTerra MS C18 Prep Column’s care and use manual to see how this column should be properly cleaned. Worried about how extreme backpressures might react with the guard cartridge? The XTerra MS C18 Prep Guard Cartridge has the same diameter as the prep column, ensuring that there are no gaps for backpressures to leak through. What’s more, this cartridge also has the same pH range as the XTerra MS C18 Prep Column. This helps to ensure that chemical stability is maintained throughout your separations. At Waters, it’s our passion to provide you with the products and resources needed for you to be successful in the lab. From lab informatics and application notes to full LC-MS systems and classic chromatography consumables, we truly have it all.
