The Benefits of UPLC Technology in the Analytical Laboratory

The document discusses the benefits of using Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) compared to traditional High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Some key benefits of UPLC include increased speed, resolution, and sensitivity due to the use of smaller 1.7 micrometer particles instead of the larger 5 micrometer particles typically used in HPLC. The higher pressures allowed by UPLC columns packed with smaller particles allow for faster analysis times and improved separation of compounds.
