Please contact our Sales Team for a quote.

Multi-dimensional technology for increased UPLC / UHPLC resolution when you need it

The ACQUITY Premier System with Multi-Dimensional Technology offers the lowest dispersion system for maximum peak capacity with the most reliable, highest performing solvent managers and valve compartments on the market, ensuring accuracy and precision of the entire assay. This multi-dimensional system configuration allows chemists to increase sensitivity and selectivity, eliminate unwanted interference, and characterize the most complex samples.

Additionally, the system extends the performance of MaxPeak High Performance Surfaces (HPS) Technology beyond the column, offering improvements in separation and detection of metal-sensitive analytes.

  • Achieve successful multi-dimensional UPLC and UHPLC experiments quicker and with robustness and more confidence with the help of ready-to-use configurations
  • Attain top-tier selectivity and sensitivity by using the ACQUITY Premier Systems with Multi-Dimensional Technology with proven chemistries, including the MaxPeak Premier Columns
  • Benefit from MaxPeak HPS Technology connected to the ACQUITY Premier Systems with an inert flow path

Recommended Use: To eliminate unwanted interferences and increase peak capacity and resolution for characterization of the most complex samples.

Functionality that meets all your laboratory’s needs

UPLC technology’s benefits like resolution, sensitivity, and throughput are crucial in multi-dimensional LC applications. Waters ACQUITY Premier Systems with Multi-Dimensional Technology is purpose-built to provide reproducible and consistent results in everything, from plumbing to software to valve control.

ACQUITY Premier Multi-Dimensional Systems can effectively perform functions such as trapping, heart cutting, parallel column regeneration, at-column dilution, and time de-coupled chromatography – all enhancing your ability to eliminate unwanted interferences, increase peak capacity and resolution for characterizing the most complex samples, and improve assay ruggedness and overall analysis speed.
