28 Mar 2016

This poster shows the results of a study to qualify three Point-Of-Use (POU) polishers by showing their efficiency in eliminating contaminants. The three POUs tested were the LC-Pak^® Polisher for HPLC, LC/ MS, LC/MS/MS, UPLC analyses, the VOC-Pak^® Polisher for the Volatile Organic Compounds and the EDS-Pak^® Polisher for analyses involving endocrine disruptors (EDs).

VOC-Pak™ Point-of-Use Polisher
Merck
The VOC Pak is designed to produce water with VOC concentration below the analytical detection limit. VOCs are industrial contaminants that may cause health safety issues and therefore should be detected in the environment. VOCs are routinely analyzed in water, soil, gas and air. Specifications for VOCs in drinking water have been established by different regulatory agencies in many countries.The VOC-Pak cartridge is designed to assure scientists performing VOC analysis that the ultrapure water they use to rinse glassware, produce standard solutions or dilute samples is VOC-free.Featured at EMD Millipore Pittcon 2014.VOC-Pak™ Point-of-Use Polisher Benefits: The VOC-Pak™ polisher is easily connected to the outlet of all EMD Millipore Type I water purification systems (Milli-Q®, Direct-Q®, Synergy® and Simplicity® systems) The final purification step provides VOC-free ultrapure water at high flow rate—when you need it Delivers a minimum of 300 l of VOC-free ultrapure water Validated for efficient removal of VOCs Each VOC-Pak™ cartridge is delivered with a Certificate of Quality

LC-Pak Point-of-Use Polisher
Merck
The LC-Pak is designed to provide scientists with the certitude that the ultrapure water that they are using in critical organic molecules analysis at trace and ultra-trace levels will be adequate. Recent advances in analytical techniques such as UPLC, LC-MS, LC-MS / MS have considerably improved the sensitivity of organic and biochemical molecule detection. As a result, these techniques now require improved water quality for the production of mobile phase, buffers, blanks, standards preparation, sample dilution, glassware rinsing or extraction.The granular C18 reverse phase silica in the polypropylene housing is tightly packed by a compression disc to avoid any channeling effect. This ensures that the water passing through the LC-Pak will be in close contact with the C18 chains binding organic molecules by hydrophobic interactions.Featured at EMD Millipore Pittcon 2014.LC-Pak Point-of-Use Polisher Benefits: The LC Pak is easily connected to the outlet of all Millipore Type 1 water systems (Milli-Q, Direct-Q, Synergy and Simplicity) Final purification step uses efficient C18 reverse phase silica technology to provides fresh low organic traces ultrapure water at high flow rate-when you need it Delivers a minimum of 500 L of organics-free ultrapure water Designed to answer the demands of UPLC, LC-MS and LC-MS/MS analytical techniques used for organic traces and ultra-traces analysis Validated for the production of water whose quality equals or exceeds the specifications of bottled water for LC-MS Each LC-Pak cartridge is delivered with a Certificate of Quality

EDS-Pak® Point-of-Use Polisher
Merck
The EDS-Pak is a disposable point-of-use cartridge developed by Millipore to meet the needs of researchers who require ultrapure water free of endocrine disrupters (EDS). The EDS-Pak cartridge contains a specific type of activated carbon that has been validated for the removal of several endocrine disrupters. The cartridge’s housing and connector materials also have been validated for the absence of endocrine disrupters.The EDS-Pak can be installed on all Millipore Type 1 water purification systems that deliver ultrapure water with TOC The EDS-Pak has been validated for the efficient removal of the following endocrine disrupters such as bisphenol A, diethyl phthalate, di-n-butyl phthalate and nonylphenol.Each EDS-Pak cartridge is delivered with a Certificate of Quality showing the analytical results of the Endocrine Disrupter Analysis performed on the cartridge lot.Featured at EMD Millipore Pittcon 2014.EDS-Pak® Point-of-Use Polisher Benefits: Point-of-use polisher for use with Milli-Q® and other EMD Millipore Type I water purification systems Final purification step provides endocrine disrupter-free ultrapure water at high flow rate—when you need it Delivers a minimum of 300 l of EDS-free ultrapure water Validated for efficient removal of bisphenol A, diethyl phthalate and di-n-butyl phthalate Each EDS-Pak® cartridge is delivered with a Certificate of Quality

Eclipse Purge-and-Trap Sample Concentrator
Xylem
Eclipse Purge-and-Trap Sample Concentrator - The Gold Standard In Volatiles Analysis The Eclipse 4660 Purge-and-Trap Sample Concentrator processes samples for analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by gas chromatography (GC) or gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Innovative, patented components within the Eclipse significantly improve sample processing steps of the purge-and-trap technique. A key technology is the built-in Cyclone Water Management system that removes water during the thermal desorb step. The high efficiency of water removal allows analysis of polar compounds such as alcohols, ethers, and ketones without interference from water. Degradation of chromatographic columns and maintenance of the GC or GC/MS are also minimized. Features of the Eclipse 4660 Purge-and-Trap Sample Concentrator:• Patented Cyclone Water Management™ system removes >96% of water during the thermal desorb step allowing analysis of polar compounds • Patented Foam Sensor™ and Foam Buster™ detect the presence of foam and disrupt it during the purge step to prevent system contamination • Sparge Overfill Sensor (SOS™) prevents overfilling of the sparge vessel and system flooding • Patented Infra-Sparge™ Sample Heater ensures consistent sparge vessel temperature conditions for improved compound recoveries and %RSDs • Color touchscreen with Windows® CE software interface (English and Chinese languages) • Optional pHDetect™* module automates sample pH measurement (*patent pending)

Atlantis T3 HPLC columns
Waters
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 research and are a vast improvement upon the highly successful Atlantis® dC18 line of columns. For reversed-phase applications, Atlantis® T3 columns should be considered the first choice when developing a separation of polar (and non-polar) compounds. The advantages of T3 bonding technology are extended to UPLC® in the ACQUITY® UPLC® HSS T3 columns. T3 Bonding The superior performance of Atlantis® T3 HPLC columns and the ACQUITY® UPLC® HSS T3 columns is a result of Waters’ , advanced T3 bonding process. T3 bonding utilizes a trifunctional C18 alkyl phase bonded at a ligand density that promotes polar compound retention and aqueous mobile phase compatibility. The proprietary T3 endcapping process is much more effective than traditional trimethyl silane (TMS) endcapping. The unique combination of bonding and endcapping provides superior polar compound retention and aqueous compatibility while also enhancing column performance, lifetime, peak shape and stability. A Universal Reversed-Phase Polar Compound Retention Column Large organizations are looking to narrow or limit the number of column choices available to their separations scientists. This worldwide LC column “harmonization” can provide more predictable, controlled consumable costs, simplified method transfer between laboratory locations around the world, and pre-screened LC columns for various performance parameters. With good retention of, and selectivity for, neutral, hydrophilic compounds as well as polar analytes and superior performance over a wider pH range, Atlantis® T3 columns merit serious consideration as a more universal alternative to traditional C18 reversed-phase LC columns.
