Take control of your bottom line with real-time LC

Process development laboratories are challenged to modernize scientific processes that ensure final product quality and improve process yields. One of the critical components is process analytical technology (PAT), where timely quantitative measurements are taken throughout production to measure Critical Quality Attributes (CQA). 

With Waters, in-process decisions can rely on streaming CQA feedback. The PATROL UPLC Process Analysis System provides access to real-time, chromatographic-quality analysis for in-process samples. This PAT tool gives you streaming CQA feedback, aligning UPLC technology with Quality by Design (QbD) principles in your process development laboratory.

  • Ensure final product quality and improve process yields

  • Work with real-time information that provides a great understanding of the efficiency and quality of your processes

  • Achieve best-in-class analyses designed specifically for in-process analysis

  • Rely on results that improve operational efficiency, deliver quantifiable ROI, and increase profits

Recommended Use: Designed for in-process analysis, delivering simultaneous qualitative, and quantitative information. 

Take control of your process

The PATROL UPLC Process Analysis System is specifically designed for in-process analysis, delivering simultaneous qualitative and quantitative information and allowing you to dynamically adjust and control your process. Gain confidence that your process is under control and within design space with continuous system uptime and remote access from any location.

Long HPLC runtimes are no longer a hinderance to the decision-making process. Here, a 25-minute HPLC analysis was run in 2.5 minutes using UPLC.

Overcome process challenges with UPLC

Spectroscopic technology may provide real-time identity information about processes, but it lacks the ability to simultaneously monitor multiple components at different levels, and does not provide the quantitative analysis, sensitivity, linearity/dynamic range, and resolution that ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC/UHPLC) provides.

The PATROL UPLC Process Analysis System provides a fast and easy-to-use method that generates real-time data, filling the gap where the slower HPLC technique has traditionally come up short as the online and automated analytical tool desired by process chemists.

The PATROL UPLC Process Analysis System addresses a key gap in utilizing UPLC data throughout your process.
