Cartridge System: Protection of GPC Columns

Phenomenex announces the extension of its Security Guard family of products to include a cartridge-based system that protects any non-aqueous gel permeation chromatography (GPC) column.

The cartridge system replaces traditional guard columns, offering a more convenient and cost-effective system for protecting expensive GPC columns from the damaging effects of contaminants and micro particulates. The cartridge design enables the user to visually inspect the surface of the column’s packing material at any time and monitor contaminant build-up.

The visual inspection allows for cartridge changes at the right time to maintain optimal column protection and performance.
