Description
VP 10/16 NUCLEODUR is a short VarioPrep HPLC guard column cartridge configured as a polar universal precolumn for protecting polar HPLC stationary phases. The cartridge has a length of 10 mm and an internal diameter of 16 mm and is supplied as a pack of two pieces. It is intended for VarioPrep HPLC columns with an internal diameter of 16 mm or 21 mm and is suitable for all polar NUCLEODUR and NUCLEOSIL phases. In routine HPLC work the short polar guard bed traps particulates and strongly retained matrix components before they reach the main column, supporting stable retention and peak shape on polar phases. Installation is made with the matching VP guard column holder 16 mm (short, REF 718256), which seats the cartridge in the VarioPrep flow path. Offered by manufacturer Macherey-Nagel within the VarioPrep accessory range, VP 10/16 NUCLEODUR gives laboratories a compact, phase-matched precolumn format for polar NUCLEODUR and NUCLEOSIL methods on 16 mm and 21 mm ID columns. The two-piece pack supports change-out during method development, system qualification, or continuous sample sequences without interrupting column protection strategy.
This article belongs on HPLC guard columns, in HPLC columns & accessories.

Questions about VP 10/16 NUCLEODUR
What is this article?
VP 10/16 NUCLEODUR is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Macherey-Nagel for laboratory use. It sits in HPLC guard columns, inside HPLC columns & accessories, in Chromatography equipment.
A guard column is a short column of the same phase as the analytical column, placed in front of it to catch particles and compounds that would stick forever. It is meant to be replaced. A guard of a different phase changes the separation. The holder and the cartridge are often separate parts.
An HPLC column is a tube packed, or coated, with a stationary phase. The sample is carried through it by a liquid, and the compounds leave at different times. The phase, the particle size, the length and the internal diameter decide the separation. A guard column is a short sacrificial piece in front of the analytical column. Fittings and tubing have a bore that either preserves the peak or smears it. Compound names follow IUPAC. Data are on PubChem. Method grades often cite the European Pharmacopoeia or USP.
