Discover the UPLC difference

The ACQUITY UPLC H-Class PLUS System is the next evolution of ultra-performance instrumentation, providing the high resolution of a quaternary or binary liquid chromatography (LC) system.

Achieving true UPLC performance requires that system dispersion (or extra-column band spread) to be matched to the peak widths associated with narrow bore columns packed with sub-2-μm particles. While other systems might be designed for high pressure, it doesn’t mean they're designed to deliver the sharp peaks of UPLC performance and the ACQUITY UPLC H-Class PLUS System.


Take your methods to the next level

Leverage the benefits of UPLC technology to improve your existing HPLC methods. By scaling your methods to UPLC, your laboratory will benefit from the combination of increased resolution, sensitivity, and speed that comes with modern small particle chemistries.

Designed to accommodate all of your LC method needs, the ACQUITY UPLC H-Class PLUS System is ideally suited to future-proof your laboratory, enabling the support of existing HPLC methods now, and provide significant productivity and cost benefit when utilized for UPLC methods. 


Discover the best method for the best results

Get the versatility to discover the best set of chromatographic conditions for your sample, providing a more robust method. The flexibility of the ACQUITY UPLC H-Class PLUS Quaternary System allows you to automatically screen important method parameters, including:

  • Up to six columns in independently temperature-controlled compartments

  • pH and ionic strength with Auto•Blend Plus Technology

  • Optional and integrated solvent selection valve expands access to six additional mobile phase lines 

  • 11 unique gradient profiles


Deliver greater speed and precision for routine analyses

The ACQUITY UPLC H-Class PLUS Binary System combines the proven reliability and performance of the ACQUITY UPLC H-Class PLUS System with the precision and lowest system volume offered by our high-pressure mixing binary solvent manager, allowing you to:

  • Accommodate the most challenging sample matrices

  • Tackle applications with long shallow gradients

  • Improve the throughput of your methods 

Combine the capabilities of the ACQUITY UPLC H-Class PLUS Binary System with Waters Tandem quadruple technology  for routine quantitative UPLC-MS/MS applications, so you can confidently quantify and trace components in the most complex of samples.
