Description
VP 10/16 NUCLEODUR PolarTec is a short VarioPrep HPLC guard column cartridge designed to protect analytical or preparative NUCLEODUR PolarTec columns in liquid chromatography setups. The cartridge has a length of 10 mm and an internal diameter of 16 mm and is packed with NUCLEODUR PolarTec stationary phase. It is intended for use with VarioPrep HPLC columns that have an internal diameter of 16 mm or 21 mm and is connected via the VP guard column holder 16 mm (short, REF 718256). Supplied as a pack of two pieces, this guard cartridge from manufacturer Macherey-Nagel helps extend the working life of the main separation column by trapping particulates and strongly retained matrix components before they reach the analytical or preparative bed. The compact 10 mm × 16 mm format keeps extra-column volume low while matching PolarTec chemistry to the corresponding VarioPrep main columns. Laboratories running polar-phase HPLC methods on VarioPrep hardware can standardise protection of 16 mm and 21 mm ID columns with this short cartridge configuration.
This article belongs on HPLC guard columns, in HPLC columns & accessories.

Questions about VP 10/16 NUCLEODUR PolarTec
What is this article?
VP 10/16 NUCLEODUR PolarTec 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.
