Symmetry®, SymmetryShield™ and Symmetry300™ Columns
Symmetry® HPLC columns continue to set the standard for reproducibility. Symmetry® columns deliver high throughput for your HPLC applications without sacrificing resolution.

SymmetryShield™ columns can radically improve peak shape and resolution for basic compounds over a much broader pH range. This reversed-phase column is based on a lig and which contains an embedded polar group that reduces the silanol interaction with highly basic analytes. It also offers a unique selectivity that can be used to enhance resolution of your separation. SymmetryShield™ columns are 100% aqueous compatible.

Symmetry300™ columns have been specifically designed to provide maximum reproducibility and material recovery in the field of biopharmaceuticals. These 300Å reversed-phase HPLC columns are optimized for protein and peptide assays.

XTerra®
Breaking Boundaries:
Scientists have been forced to work within certain boundaries when performing HPLC separations. Restrictions on speed, resolution, pH, temperature, and loading capacity were forced upon the chromatographer by limitations of the stationary phase material.
Waters Hybrid Particle Technology has enabled XTerra‚ columns to combine the benefits of silica and polymer based particles without any of their disadvantages. XTerra‚ columns exhibit high mechanical strength, high efficiency, the ability to separate a wide range of compounds, increased sample loading, high chemical (pH) and temperature stability, and little to no peak tailing.



XTerra® Prep
XTerra® Prep Columns Breaking Boundaries in Prep Chromatography with Drug Discovery: It’s speed without sacrificing purity or mass load capacity. It’s mass load capacity without sacrificing purity or speed. It’s the solution for all your isolation/purification needs.
