a. Overview

Waters High Pressure Inert (HPI) HPLC columns are a metal free alternative
for both bio-chromatographic and ion-chromatographic applications. In this
advanced design, the sample contacts only polyetherether ketone (PEEK

®

)

and ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), two materials
which are widely accepted for their biocompatibility and inertness. The
chromatographic performance of these columns is essentially identical
to their metal counterparts with the added advantage of greater chemical
inertness.

b. Delta-Pak Columns

The Delta-Pak

TM

column packing material is an endcapped C

bonded

phase. It is synthesized from 5 µm spherical silica particles having an aver-
age pore diameter of 100 Å or 300 Å. Delta-Pak

columns are ideal for the

analysis and purification of peptides and proteins.
