ORLANDO, Fla., March 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Today at PITTCON(R)
2006, Varian, Inc. (Nasdaq: VARI) announced the addition of the Pursuit(R) XRs
line of maximum resolution HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography)
columns for reverse phase analysis to its family of laboratory consumable
products.
Combining advanced bonding technologies with extremely high surface area
100- Angstrom silica, the new Pursuit XRs columns are designed to provide
ultra-high resolution separations, enabling scientists to obtain more
information and produce superior results for the most demanding research and
development (R&D), production, and quality control (QC) applications.
Analytical R&D and QC chemists use HPLC columns for the development of methods
aimed at understanding and assuring the quality of compounds as diverse as
drug candidates and products, environmental pollutants, agricultural
materials, and food products, among others.
Offering measurably better resolution, the Pursuit XRs enables precise and
accurate first-time resolution and quantification of complex mixtures,
speeding up method development and validation. Additionally, the Pursuit XRs
columns are exceptionally stable, allowing QC labs to achieve the highest
level of column performance for potentially thousands of injections. The
column's stable chemical surface ensures pure interactions with target
analytes, avoiding problems commonly caused by uncontrolled residual silanols
and metal contaminants. Delivering run-to-run consistency, Pursuit XRs
eliminates costly re-runs and improves laboratory throughput.
Pursuit XRs technology advances also radically increase column endurance.
Tested under extremely challenging conditions, the Pursuit XRs shows no
evidence of degradation, even after more than 5000 sample injections.
"Varian is committed to working with our customers to develop consumable
solutions that enhance method development and lab productivity," says Martin
O'Donoghue, senior vice president, Scientific Instruments, Varian, Inc. "With
the introduction of the Pursuit XRs, we have extended our Pursuit HPLC column
family to give customers the consumable options they need for their labs,
whether they are looking for superior resolution or high throughput and
maximum speed."
The Varian Pursuit XRs HPLC columns are available in C-18, C-8, and
Diphenyl phases and can be ordered for immediate shipment.
