Waters ACQUITY UPLC HSS Columns

High Strength Silica [HSS] Particle Technology

To complement Waters revolutionary Hybrid Particle Technology [HPT], a mechanically tolerant, silica-based material was designed to withstand UPLC pressures. High Strength Silica [HSS] particle technology was born from an innovative synthetic process that significantly increases the mechanical stability of silica while maintaining pore volumes similar to that of HPLC silica based materials. T he result is a novel particle technology that provides increased retentivity compared to hybrid particles while serving as the ideal substrate to create stationary phases that provide alternate selectivity.
