Waters Introduces ACQUITY UP$$lc H-Class System; HP$$lc Simplicity with UP$$lc Performance
The New H-Class is Designed to Replace HP$$lc Systems and Accelerate UP$$lc Adoption among HP$$lc Users
MILFORD, Mass. - 一月 25, 2010

Waters Corporation (WAT:NYSE) today introduced the new Waters® ACQUITY UP$$lc® H-Class System incorporating the proven, robust and reliable performance of ACQUITY UltraPerformance $$lc® (UP$$lc) with the operational familiarity of traditional high performance liquid chromatography. This combination of performance, simplicity and flexibility is designed to help more laboratories realize the scientific and business benefits of sub-2-μm (micron) particle column technology by making it more accessible to a broader range of industries, applications and operators.

With systems currently installed in Waters’ demonstration laboratories worldwide, the ACQUITY UP$$lc H-Class is ready for customer shipping today.

“Working closely with our customers, it became obvious that the immediate next step for UP$$lc was to more closely link UP$$lc and HP$$lc to improve data quality, increase sample throughput, and reduce cost per analysis across a broader range of markets and entire enterprises,” said Art Caputo, President of the Waters Division. “Based on conversations with some of our key accounts, the introduction of the ACQUITY UP$$lc H-Class is the right system at the right time.”

Beyond improving chromatographic performance when running UP$$lc columns as well as fully supporting HP$$lc columns, the ACQUITY UP$$lc H-Class system closely emulates HP$$lc workflows making method transfer from HP$$lc to UP$$lc easier or more seamless. Furthermore, the introduction of ACQUITY UP$$lc H-Class allows organizations to standardize their approach to $$lc with a common technology platform that makes the future transition from HP$$lc to UP$$lc-based methods straightforward and practical - from product discovery through to product release testing.

“Having proven itself in the market under the most rigorous situations for the most demanding applications, UP$$lc technology has experienced a prolific adoption rate,” continued Mr. Caputo. “So much so that today’s HP$$lc users, many of whom are currently unable to or prefer not to change their approach to $$lc, are looking for the benefits from UP$$lc technology, but on their terms.”

The answer to achieving UP$$lc performance and benefits without fundamentally modifying HP$$lc workflows came in the form of the ACQUITY UP$$lc H-Class’ new quaternary solvent manager (QSM) and sample manager (SM-FTN), with flow-through needle design, thereby mimicking traditional HP$$lc system workflow. The featured QSM and SM-FTN on the ACQUITY UP$$lc H-Class combine to enable the chromatographer to achieve high separation efficiency using sub-2-μm (micron) particle separations at high pressures. The result is seamless upgrade of chromatographic capabilities.

Backed by a range of ACQUITY UP$$lc columns that include three particle substrates in 11 chemistries, all of which are scaleable between HP$$lc and UP$$lc particle sizes, the ACQUITY UP$$lc H-Class introduction is complemented by new ACQUITY UP$$lc Method Transfer kits. These new kits contain both UP$$lc and HP$$lc columns, with specified chemistry, and an ACQUITY UP$$lc Columns Ca$$lculator, all designed to take the guess work out of method transfer. In addition, Method Development and Method Validation kits are available to ensure efficient method development and robustness.

ACQUITY UP$$lc family

Six years ago, Waters pioneered a new category of chromatographic performance with the commercialization of sub-2-μm (micron) particle columns engineered in tandem with advanced instrumentation and fluidics modules to deliver superior performance at higher pressures through the introduction of ACQUITY UP$$lc. The result has been significant improvements in analytical resolution and sensitivity while increasing analytical speed.

To date, Waters has installed thousands of UP$$lc systems, replacing the workload of tens of thousands of HP$$lc systems, supported more than 500 peer-reviewed papers, demonstrated reduced solvent consumption up to 95 percent for greener laboratories, and has served the needs of regulatory agencies around the globe.

Today, the UP$$lc platform no longer describes a single system. In addition to the ACQUITY UP$$lc system, the original system, and the ACQUITY UP$$lc H-Class, the growing family of UP$$lc systems also includes the nanoACQUITY UP$$lc® system and PATROL™ UP$$lc process analyzer.

The nanoACQUITY UP$$lc is designed for nano-scale, capillary, and narrow-bore separations to attain the highest chromatographic resolution, sensitivity, and reproducibility, especially for sample-limited analysis. The PATROL UP$$lc process analyzer moves UP$$lc analysis from off-line quality control laboratories directly to the manufacturing process, resulting in significant improvements in production efficiency.

The UP$$lc platform is focused on accelerating industry adoption of UP$$lc technology through a diverse range of systems based on a common, proven platform. Benefits of this approach reach well beyond targeted or individual laboratories. They are at the heart of today’s business, academic and regulatory needs, ensuring that scientific, operational, sustainability, and profitability goals are met.

柏兄，翻译一下再发上来就好了，这样看起来，虽然原汁原味，但很伤神。

哇，看不懂诶！

不懂！！不喜欢英文！

我们刚刚买了台waters h-class。

是够伤神的，还是中文亲切些！
