3 What System is right for my Laboratory? 2015 Waters Corporation 3

4 LC Separations Categories How are these categories differentiated? Chromatographic Resolution Increases Overall Run Time Decreases Method Sensitivity Increases 2015 Waters Corporation 4

5 Defining the LC Categories: Power Range vs. Dispersion Define the difference between UHPLC and UPLC LC systems trying to cover a wide power range (flow rate / pressure envelope) end up compromising extra-column dispersion, and therefore performance, in efforts to accommodate both sub 2 µm and traditional column technologies. m Rs = 0.52 Rs = UHPLC with Higher Power Range Flow rate range and available pressure alone have little bearing on the actual separation power of the system and do not provide an appropriate measurement of system performance. Rs = 1.44 Rs = 2.84 ACQUITY UPLC H-Class with Lower Power Range True separation performance is governed by system dispersion 2015 Waters Corporation 5

6 What is at the Root of the Performance Differences across the LC Categories? Dispersion n. Broadening of an analyte band due to both on-column effects (diffusion and mass transfer kinetics which are both dependent on particle size and linear velocity) and system effects (tubing internal diameter (I.D.) and length, connections, detector flow cell volumes, etc.) True separation performance is governed by the system dispersion paired with a flow rate range that yields the highest possible efficiency for a given analytical column 2015 Waters Corporation 6

13 Implementing Modern LC Technology into Routine Analysis Laboratories Newer LC technologies first adopted in earlier stages of the product development lifecycle (i.e., Drug Discovery, Early Development) Adoption into routine analysis laboratories occurs only after the receipt of methods from earlier stages of the product lifecycle Technology must be repeatable, robust and reliable Minimize failure, OOS, repeat analyses Versatile LC platform that must maintain compliance with established, validated methods Must maintain compatibility with existing informatics platform 2015 Waters Corporation 13

18 The ACQUITY Arc System: Bridging the Performance Gap The ACQUITY Arc System is intended to bridge-the-gap between HPLC and UPLC Technology. Transitioning methods to UPLC will still provide the largest business and scientific benefits However, we do recognize and acknowledge that for many organizations, that transition is a journey and not an immediate conversion. For many organizations, there is an intermediate step that must first take place to transfer their established methods, as is, to a modern LC platform. With the introduction of the ACQUITY Arc System, analytical scientists can experience method compatibility for HPLC and UHPLC (2.x µm) separations. A single LC platform that allows the efficient transfer, adjustment, or improvement of methods from any LC platform without compromise Waters Corporation 18

22 Addressing Method Transfer Challenges: Emulating System Behavior Challenges for system-to-system method transfer Matching gradients requires matching of dwell volume and mixing behavior Matching the thermal environment of the column both oven temperature and inlet preheating must be preserved. Extra column dispersion must be equal to, or better than, the origin system UPLC trace Programmed gradient HPLC trace Gradient delay UPLC Gradient delay HPLC Equilibration Waters Corporation 22

23 Addressing Method Transfer Challenges: Emulating System Behavior Why is Plug-and-Play Methods Transfer Necessary? USP <621> says about gradient methods If adjustments are necessary, only column changes (same packing material) or dwell volume adjustments are recommended. Changes to gradient methods are perceived as being risky and are poorly understood. How Can HPLC Fluidics Be Emulated? Match key fluidic characteristics match dwell volume and mixing behavior without changing gradient table Model and simulate fluid behavior (Arc Multi-flow path TM technology) Adjust gradient table to account for differences in mixing behavior and dwell volume (not desirable) 2015 Waters Corporation 23

24 Arc Multi-Flow Path Technology Larger mixing volume disperses the edges of the gradient making it more HPLC-like Path 1 Gradient Delay Volume = 1100μL Path 2 Gradient Delay Volume = 700μL 2015 Waters Corporation 24

25 System Emulation with Arc Multi-Flow Path Technology and Gradient SmartStart Arc Multi-flow path TM technology Select Path 1 or Path 2 Selectable dwell volume that emulates both system volume and mixing behavior Adjust when the gradient starts relative to the injection sequence Compensates for transferring methods from LC systems with variable volume Gradient SmartStart Does not impact the gradient table Falls within USP <621> guidelines on transferring gradient methods between different chromatographic systems 2015 Waters Corporation 25
