System Overview
You can select several types of columns for the nanoACQUITY system.
•
Analytical columns can have an I.D. of 75 to 300
µ
m and a length of 10 to
25 cm. A nanoACQUITY BEH C18 column has particles of 1.7
µ
m.
Alternative particle sizes are available with Symmetry
®
C18 columns
(3.5
µ
m) or Atlantis
®
dC18 columns (3.0
µ
m).

2 cm long with
Symmetry C18, 5
µ
m particles.
•
An ion exchange column of 180
µ
m I.D.
×
2.4 cm length with SCX
material can be used in online 2D-LC techniques.
TUV optical detector
The optional TUV (tunable ultraviolet) optical detector can be used as the
system’s sole detector or in conjunction with a mass spectrometer. A
two-channel, ultraviolet/visible (UV/Vis) absorbance detector, the TUV
detector operates from 190 to 700 nm. Its light-guiding flow cell is intended for
high sensitivity chromatography with high peak capacity. The detector,
controlled by MassLynx software for LC/MS applications, operates as an
integral part of the system.
Mass detectors
The nanoACQUITY UPLC™ system acts as a mass spectrometry inlet for
nanoflow rate applications such as proteomics. When coupled with a mass
spectrometer, the system provides sensitive, robust, and reproducible LC/MS
and LC/MS/MS analyses. The system can be configured with an optional
Q-Tof Premier or LCT Premier mass detector.
Q-Tof Premier™
The Waters Q-Tof Premier mass spectrometer is an exact-mass API/MALDI
MS/MS platform for the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life science
industries. Designed in conjunction with the nanoACQUITY UPLC system,
the Q-Tof Premier quantifies, identifies, and characterizes compounds from
simple or complex mixtures.
