ACQUITY UPLC I-Class Series
System
Waters designed the ACQUITY UPLC I-Class Series system for optimum performance when
running difficult assays. Configure it with a mass spectrometer to take full advantage of the
system’s design enhancements.
1.1 UPLC technology
In 2004, Waters made significant advances in instrumentation and column design to introduce
UPLC technology to the field of separation science. By employing this technology, Waters’
ACQUITY UPLC systems achieve a marked increase in resolution, speed and sensitivity in liquid
chromatography when compared to conventional systems.
UPLC technology is based on columns packed with 1.7 µm-diameter, spherical particles coupled
with low dispersion systems, allowing you to realize the full separation potential of these highly
efficient columns.
