ACQUITY UltraPerformance Convergence Chromatography Takes Pittcon Editors Award

Waters Corporation (USA) was awarded the 2012 Pittcon Editors Gold Award for the new Waters ACQUITY UPC2 System as the best new product at the 2012 Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy.

Employing the principle of UltraPerformance Convergence Chromatography (UPC2), ACQUITY UPC2 System expands the boundaries of reverse phase liquid chromatography (LC) and of gas chromatography (GC) separations and offers a replacement option for normal phase chromatography. ACQUITY UPC2 provides scientists with a new tool for tackling tough-to-analyse compounds including hydrophobic and chiral compounds, lipids, thermally-labile samples and polymers across a wide range of applications.
