ACE EQUIVALENCE 3 C18 Guard CartridgeS

The Avantor ACE Equivalence C18 guard cartridges 3.0-4.6mm, 3µm, are used for column protection of Avantor ACE Equivalence C18 HPLC columns with an internal diameter of 3.0-4.6mm. They are intended for routine and replacement methods where the equivalence selectivity of the analytical main column should be maintained. For reproducible results the guard cartridge should be combined with the same stationary phase as the main column; the corresponding direct holder H0001 serves as the guard holder.

Features and Benefits

• Cost-effective C18 replacement columns for many established HPLC methods
• High efficiency and good reproducibility
• Available in standard particle sizes for routine HPLC
• High-purity, base-deactivated silica for stable peak shapes
• Suitable for method transfer and quality control

Additional Information

Avantor ACE Equivalence is a robust C18 series designed for routine HPLC methods and as a replacement for many established column brands. The silica backbone is designed for reproducible retention, good efficiency, and stable peak shapes. Thanks to the familiar C18 selectivity, existing methods can often be transferred with minimal development effort or operated more cost-effectively. Compatible guard cartridges protect the analytical Equivalence column from matrix carryover and can extend its service life in routine analysis.
