CAT No 186007544
Application Protein
APC Calibration Standards were specifically designed to match the molecular weight range of the ACQUITY APC XT Columns. They eliminate the need to manually prepare custom standard calibration mixes as ACQUITY APC Calibration Standards provide the right number of data points for the targeted MW range. The calibration standards come in 12 x 32 mm amber glass vials with PTFE/silicone septa. The cap color indicates the MW standards in the vial. Simply add solvent to the vial, to dissolve the standards and place vial in the autosampler following the instructions provided.
Certified Performance for Accurate CalibrationThis calibration kit features certified molecular weight values traceable to international standards, ensuring precise calibration of APC, GPC, and SEC systems. By using high-purity polymethylmethacrylate in THF, laboratories can achieve dependable performance verification and consistency in results across multiple runs.
Convenient Pre-Measured AmpoulesEach kit contains six pre-measured 3 mL ampoules, simplifying setup and minimizing potential handling errors. This convenient format supports efficient workflow and reproducibility, as each ampoule delivers the exact amount required for calibration.
Designed for Laboratory Use OnlyIntended strictly for laboratory applications, this kit is not suitable for medical, diagnostic, or food purposes. Store the ampoules at ambient temperature away from light for optimal shelf life and integrity of the calibration standards.
FAQ's of Waters Corp ACQUITY APC Polymethylmethacrylate Middle MW Calibration Kit:
Q: How do I use the ACQUITY APC Polymethylmethacrylate Middle MW Calibration Kit for system calibration?
A: To use the kit, select an ampoule, gently mix, and inject the contents into your SEC/GPC/APC instrument according to your standard calibration protocol. The kit is designed for straightforward instrument calibration and performance verification.
Q: What are the benefits of using pre-measured liquid ampoules in this calibration kit?
A: Pre-measured ampoules reduce preparation time and minimize handling errors, ensuring consistent results and accurate calibration. This enhances workflow efficiency and repeatability across routine calibrations.
Q: When should I replace the calibration standards in my laboratory?
A: You should use the calibration standards within the shelf life specified on the package label-typically two years from the date of manufacture. Replace the kit if any ampoule shows signs of degradation or after reaching its expiration date.
Q: Where should I store the ampoules to preserve their quality?
A: Store the ampoules at room temperature, away from light, as recommended. These conditions help to maintain the integrity and purity of the polymethylmethacrylate solutions throughout the product's shelf life.
Q: What is the molecular weight range covered by the calibration kit?
A: The kit includes six standards spanning a molecular weight range of approximately 11,000 to 370,000 g/mol, suitable for middle-range polymer calibration applications.
Q: How does this kit ensure traceable and reliable calibration results?
A: Certified molecular weight values are provided for each standard, traceable to international standards. This certification guarantees accurate and reproducible results when calibrating advanced polymer chromatography instruments.
