I. IntroduCtIon
Thank you for choosing a Waters HSPgel ™ column. Every column
is individually tested and Certificates of Batch Analysis and a
Performance Chromatogram are provided with each column. It is not
recommended to use a guard column with the HSPgel columns, as it
will add significant volume and possible additional bandspreading
to the system. It is recommended, however, that a ~0.5 µm in-line
filter (pre-column) be installed to trap any particulates that may
potentially plug the column frit. The GPC analysis solvent must
be filtered prior to use through an appropriate ~0.5 µm filter. The
sample solutions should also be filtered prior to injection, unless the
sample molecular weight is very high and there may be a chance of
shear degradation.
