HPLC Accessories

HPLC accessories include essential components like detectors, pumps, columns, fittings, and tubing required for operating, upgrading, or maintaining High-Performance Liquid Chromatography systems.

Choosing an HPLC column depends on the type of analysis, such as reversed-phase, ion-exchange, or size-exclusion, and factors like the sample's chemical properties and the mobile phase.

Yes, refurbished accessories can be compatible if they meet the system's specifications and quality requirements. It's important to confirm compatibility with the supplier.

New accessories typically offer the latest technology and longer life spans, while used or refurbished ones are more cost-effective and suitable for non-critical applications.

Detectors identify and quantify components separated by the HPLC column. Common types include UV-Vis, fluorescence, and mass spectrometry detectors.

Maintenance frequency depends on usage and sample type. Regular checks for leaks, pressure fluctuations, and component wear can ensure optimal performance.

Compatibility depends on the brand and model of your HPLC system. Check the specifications or consult with the supplier to confirm suitability.

Yes, upgrading with compatible accessories like advanced detectors or high-capacity pumps can improve system performance and functionality.

HPLC columns are typically made from stainless steel, PEEK, or glass and packed with stationary phase materials like silica or polymer beads.

Common issues include leaks, clogging, and inconsistent pressure. Regular maintenance, proper cleaning, and replacing worn components can prevent or resolve these problems.
