The AccQ•Tag™ Ultra C
18
, 2.1 x 100mm Column (P/N
186003837 ), is an integral component of Waters UPLC ® Amino
Acid Analysis Solution. The Solution consists of an integrated
combination of instrumentation, derivatization chemistry, column,
eluents, methods, software, and support. Consequently and when
used as documented, analysts are assured of accurate and precise
amino acid analyses with this detailed complete application solu-
tion. The use of the AccQ•Tag Ultra Column without the rest of the
application solution is not supported as an amino acid analysis
method because there are significant risks of inaccurate qualitative
and quantitative analysis.
The AccQ•Tag Ultra Column significantly differs from the
AccQ•Tag 3.9 x 150 mm Column (P/N
WAT052885 ) in both
chemistry composition and column configuration. In addition, the
quality control tests for the AccQ•Tag Ultra Column vs. AccQ•Tag
Column are different, further supporting the fact that these two
column chemistries cannot be used interchangeably.
Note: Please refer to Waters “UPLC Amino Acid Analysis Solution: P/N
720001837EN ”, “UPLC Amino Acid Analysis Solution System Guide: P/N
71500129702, and ACQUITY UPLC ® H-Class and H-Class Bio Amino Acid
Analysis System Guide: USRM134761474 for additional information related
to use of the AccQ•Tag Ultra C
18
Column for this defined application solution.
