Thank you for choosing an ACQUITY UPLC

®

OST C

18

column designed

specifically for use on Waters ACQUITY UPLC

®

System. The separa-

tion of detritylated oligonucleotides on Waters second generation of
hybrid-silica BEH Technology

particles are based on the well estab-

lished method on ion-pair, reversed-phase chromatography. ACQUITY
UPLC

®

OST C

18

columns are available in several configurations to

address different application needs. Your ACQUITY UPLC

®

OST C

18

packing material is manufactured in a cGMP, ISO 9002 certified plant
using ultra pure reagents. Each batch of ACQUITY UPLC

®

OST C

18

material is chromatographically tested with acidic, basic and neutral
analytes and the results are held to narrow specification ranges to
assure excellent, reproducible performance. In addition, every column
is individually tested and the associated Performance Test Chromato-
gram and Certificate of Acceptance information is available through
the attached eCord

intelligent chip technology.

Note: Optimum performance of ACQUITY UPLC

OST C

18

columns is

best assured using an appropriately configured Waters ACQUITY UPLC

®

System (e.g., See Section II, g). Consequently, use of ACQUITY UPLC

OST C

18

columns on conventional HPLC systems is not recommended.
