Go from HPLC to UHPLC with the flip of a switch

The Waters Acquity Arc system is a quaternary-based, modern liquid chromatograph (LC) system for scientists working with established methods who are

looking for the versatility and robustness required to bridge the gap between high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and UltraPerformance LC (UPLC) while continuing to support validated assays.

Replicate your established methods

The Acquity Arc system, and its enabling Arc Multiflow path technology, allows scientists to emulate the gradient dwell volume and mixing behaviour of various LC systems. By selecting the appropriate fluidic path, the Acquity Arc system can easily emulate a variety of HPLC systems without altering the method’s gradient table and provide UHPLC performance with the flip of a switch.

In addition, the Acquity Arc system can enable improved chromatographic performance of methods by leveraging 2.5 - 2.7micron particle column technologies, as well as support previously developed applications on 3 - 5micron HPLC columns.

Add mass detection without changing your workflow

Waters offers a full complement of LC detectors for the Acquity Arc system, including photodiode array, UV/VIS, fluorescence, refractive index and evaporative light scattering.

The system is fully compatible with the Acquity QDa mass detector.

The system features novel Auto-Blend Plus technology that enables the operator to program directly percentage organic and percentage pH gradients to significantly reduce human error and the manual labour associated with preparing buffered mobile phases. The Acquity Arc system is controlled through both Empower and Masslynx software.
