NEXT GENERATION SEPARATION SCIENCE
Guided by the principles of proven UPLC® Technology and holistic design, Waters has created a new UltraPerformance Convergence Chromatography™ [UPC2™] system that combines the best features of LC and GC: higher selectivity via orthogonal modes of separation and higher mobile-phase diffusion and efficiency, respectively. Scientists now may handle both routine and challenging separations with a level of reliability, robustness, sensitivity, and throughput never before achieved when using a dense gas [supercritical fluid] as a mobile phase.

When adequately compressed and made dense, carbon dioxide (CO2) becomes a “green”, environmen ...
