SecurityGuard Column Protection

A common cause of high backpressure, split peaks, broad peaks, baseline noise, baseline drift, and loss of resolution is contaminants. All mobile phases contain some chemical contaminants or micro particulates, from the sample, solvent, or wear on the polymeric seals of the pump or injector. These contaminants can clog frits, irreversibly bind to columns, degrade performance, and even damage the flow cell. An easy solution, SecurityGuard is a universal column protection system designed to effectively (and inexpensively), protect your valuable columns, from the damaging effects of chemical contaminants, without altering your chromatographic results.

• Protects chromatographic results
• Extends UHPLC, HPLC, SFC, and PREP column lifetime
• Virtually no change in chromatography
• Simple to use
• Saves time and money
• Compatible with virtually all vendors columns

Removes Harmful Contaminants and Particulates

Its a fact! Chemical contaminants and particulates are a natural part of any chromatographic analysis. The easiest way to extend column performance is to remove these contaminants and particulates with the SecurityGuard Cartridge System before they reach your column and degrade your chromatography damaging overtightening.

Protect Any Column

Compatible HPLC Fittings

Installing the SecurityGuard protection system into your favorite column is easy. The floating outlet from the SecurityGuard holder automatically adjusts to the precise depth of virtually every manufacturers column. This ensures a low dead volume, leak free connection, without the use of unions or adapters, no matter which manufacturers column you are using.

Longer Column Lifetimes

Keep Columns Performing Their Best

When contaminates and particulates build up at the head of the column or on the guard cartridges, system pressures dramatically increase. Simply replace the SecurityGuard cartridge instead of your column and you are able to regain normal operating conditions and reclaim original column performance.

Maintain Column Performance

Virtually No Change in Chromatography

SecurityGuard ULTRA maintains UHPLC column performance without altering chromatographic results. The extremely low dead-volume (<0>SecurityGuard ULTRA has virtually no effect on efficiency, retention time, or backpressure. This leads to longer column lifetime with no loss in column performance.

PREP HPLC Column Protection

Protect Your Purification Results

The SecurityGuard PREP system was designed to effectively and inexpensively protect your valuable prep columns from the damaging effects of mobile phase and sample chemical contaminants and particulates, without altering your chromatographic results.

• Extends preparative column lifetime by as much as 5 times
• Protects column from samples that precipitate out of solution
• Protects column from contaminants
• Stable and leak free up to 60 mL/min within specified pressure ratings

Lower Cost Per Injection

SecurityGuard isnt only about column protection, its about lowering your cost per injection! When you increase the number of injections from a single preparative column youre lowering your overall cost per injection. With SecurityGuard PREP, the inexpensive cartridge was ruined while the integrity of the prep column was maintained and its performance restored.
