Type I Ultrapure Water Crucial For HPLC And UHPLC

High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a powerful analytical technique used to separate, identify and quantify compounds with a wide range of differing properties. The need to ensure that standards, organic solvents and HPLC mobile phases are of the highest purity is widely recognised, yet water quality, which may have a major impact on chromatographic performance, is frequently taken for granted.

Purity is widely recognised, yet water quality, which may have a major impact on chromatographic performance, is frequently taken for granted. For ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), a technique using sub-2 µm particles and high pressures to enhance analytical speed and sensitivity, water quality is very crucial.
