XSelect Premier Columns
Maximize selectivity with problem-solving technologies for a wide range of analytes
Get the best injection to injection reproducibility in your chromatographic separations with Waters XSelect Premier 2.5 µm Columns, which utilize MaxPeak High Performance Surfaces (HPS) Technology. Ideal for the wide range of analytes encountered in method development, XSelect Premier Columns combine modern particle technologies and ligands with the protection of MaxPeak HPS Technology.
Designed to maximize selectivity, XSelect Premier Columns are built on one of two innovative base particle technologies, Charged Surface Hybrid (CSH) and High Strength Silica (HSS). The integration of MaxPeak HPS allows you to achieve balanced, controlled interactions between your analytes, mobile phase, and the analytical column for the highest performance chromatographic separations.

The selectivity you need for method development
Maximize selectivity while minimizing variability with Waters XSelect Premier Columns, which provide the chemistries to enhance selectivity for method development while preventing unwanted analyte-surface interactions that can cause variability.
Two base particles, HSS and CSH, provide enhanced selectivity for acidic, basic, and neutral compounds across a wide pH range. For formic acid mobile phases, XSelect Premier CSH C18 Columns are the first choice for method development. You can enhance selectivity for aromatic compounds with XSelect Premier Phenyl-Hexyl Columns. Finally, increase retention for polar compounds under reversed-phase LC conditions with XSelect Premier HSS T3 Columns, which are compatible with 100% aqueous mobile phases.
The results you want. None of the interactions you don’t.
When developing analytical methods, having the confidence that analytes will not interact with metal ions in the flow path is critical. Analyte/surface interactions can lead to poor peak shape, analyte loss/misidentification, and ultimately costly sample re-work. The MaxPeak HPS Technology found in Waters XSelect Premier Columns significantly reduces unwanted analyte/surface interactions, so you can be sure you’re seeing everything in your sample --from the first injection on.
