ACQUITY UPLC BEH Columns
Waters
In 2004, Waters revolutionized liquid chromatography with the introduction of the ACQUITY UPLC System. At the heart of the system was Waters second generation hybrid, the Ethylene Bridged Hybrid (BEH) particle. In 2005, BEH Technology preparative particle sizes (2.5, 3.5, 5 and 10 μm) with the introduction of XBridge between HPLC and UPLC Technology platforms. BEH Technology particles offer: Excellent peak shape and efficiency for basic analytes A rational array of chromatographic selectivity Improvements in chemical stability at mobile phase extremes, particularly at elevated pH

ACQUITY UPLC HSS T3 Columns for Polar Compound Retention
Waters
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 this UPLC®-certified column family utilizes T3 bonding in order to retain and separate polar organic compounds. ACQUITY UPLC® HSS T3 columns possess the superior polar-compound retention, aqueous mobile phase compatibility and ultra-low MS bleed of Atlantis® T3 columns. Easier Method Transfer Since Atlantis® T3 HPLC and ACQUITY UPLC® HSS T3 columns utilize T3 bonding, LC methods can be transferred from HPLC to UPLC® separations. Because Atlantis® and HSS particles are different substrates, some method modification and/or optimization may be required. A compelling benefit of UPLC® technology is the ease and speed at which this method optimization can occur since UPLC® separations offer greater resolution in less time. Moving from XBridge™ HPLC to ACQUITY UPLC® BEH columns is nearly seamless, as the hybrid particle substrates differ only in particle size. However, because of T3 bonding it should be straightforward to make simple adjustments to successfully transfer a separation from an Atlantis® T3 HPLC column to an ACQUITY UPLC® HSS T3 column.

ACQUITY UPLC® BEH C18 and C8 Columns
Waters
ACQUITY UPLC® BEH C18 and C8 columns were designed to be the universal columns of choice for most UPLC® separations by providing the widest pH range.They incorporate trifunctional ligand bonding chemistries which produce superior low pH stability and ultra-low column bleed. This low pH stability is combined with the high pH stability of the 1.7 µm BEH particle to deliver the widest usable pH operating range. In addition, these new chemistries also utilize new, proprietary endcapping processes which produce outstanding peak shape for bases. These bonding chemistries and particle synthesis innovations produce the sharpest peaks, highest efficiencies and maximum MS sensitivities.

ACQUITY UPLC® BEH HILIC Columns
Waters
ACQUITY UPLC® BEH HILIC columns contain the rugged 1.7 μm unbonded BEH particles and are designed to retain and separate very polar basic compounds.These unique columns are optimized and tested to produce efficient and reproducible separations under UPLC® HILIC conditions. ACQUITY UPLC BEH HILIC columns overcome a major weakness of HILIC stationary phases: chemical stability. The unbonded silica stationary phases often used in HILIC are prone to dissolution at neutral pH. The rugged BEH particle’s wide usable pH range overcomes this pH limitation and results in long column lifetimes. ACQUITY UPLC™ BEH HILIC columns offer advantages such as retention and separation of very polar basic compounds, alternate selectivity as compared to reversed-phase chromatography, increased ESI-MS sensitivity, easier sample preparation, high efficiency and long column lifetimes.

ACQUITY UPLC® BEH Phenyl Columns
Waters
ACQUITY UPLC® BEH Phenyl columns utilize a trifunctional C6 alkyl tether between the phenyl ring and the silyl functionality. This ligand, combined with the same proprietary endcapping processes as the ACQUITY UPLC™ BEH C18 and C8 columns, provides ultra-low column bleed, long column lifetimes and excellent peak shape. This unique combination of ligand and endcap on the 1.7 μm BEH particle creates a new dimension in selectivity and efficiency for challenging UPLC® separations.

ACQUITY UPLC® BEH Shield RP18 Columns
Waters
ACQUITY UPLC® BEH Shield RP18 columns combine Waters patented Shield Technology* with BEH Technology™ by incorporating an embedded carbamate group into the bonded phase ligand.Waters shield ligands consistently demonstrate increased retention of phenolic compounds versus straight chain alkyl columns. The alternate selectivity and excellent peak shape from the embedded polar group ligand, when combined with the wide pH range and ultra-efficiency of the 1.7 μm BEH particle, provide a necessary and powerful tool for UPLC® method development.
