Accurately quantify trace analytes in a clinical diagnostic lab with the MassTrak ACQUITY UPLC I-Class PLUS/Xevo TQ-XS IVD System.

Extraction and concentration without the low background contamination. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a growing global concern. Now your lab can extract and concentrate PFAS without worrying about low background contamination through the power of Oasis WAX for PFAS Analysis, a comprehensive quality-control pre-screening test for 32 PFAS.

ACQUITY UPLC® HSS (High Strength Silica) T3 Columns contain the first and only 100% silica particle designed, tested and intended for use in applications up to 15000 psi/1000 bar. The ACQUITY UPLC® HSS particle is not an HPLC particle. High pore volume HPLC particles do not possess the mechanical stability necessary to withstand the high column packing and operating pressures of UPLC® separations. The first ligand chemistry in…

The Atlantis® T3 HPLC columns set the standard for retention and separation of polar compounds via reversed-phase HPLC. Atlantis® T3 columns are a universal, silica-based, reversed-phase C18 line of HPLC columns that not only retain and separate small, water-soluble polar organic compounds, but also provide superior performance across a wider pH range. Atlantis® columns are the culmination of over 30 years of bonded phase rese…
