SunFire Columns
Superior mass loading at low pH
High efficiency at a low pH can be challenging. Waters SunFire HPLC Columns, available in analytical and preparative dimensions, help you do just that with state-of-the-art bonded silica designed for high mass loading, excellent low pH stability, superior peak shapes, and high efficiency.
SunFire Analytical Columns are available in 2.5 µm to 10 µm particle sizes across two reversed-phase column chemistries, C18 and C8, sure to meet your silica-based HPLC column requirements. For preparative applications, in addition to the C18 and C8 chemistries, SunFire silica is offered in 5 and 10 µm particle sizes for preparative normal-phase purification.

Exceptional analytical separation
Waters SunFire HPLC Columns provide symmetrical peak shapes for improved resolution. With proprietary bonding and endcapping technologies, they offer exceptional efficiency for acid, neutral, and basic compounds at low and intermediate pH ranges. Waters SunFire Columns are packed with state-of-the-art silica particles available in C18 and C8 chemistries for high efficiency, resulting in greater sensitivity. SunFire HPLC Columns are compatible with mass spectrometry applications, providing sharp peaks, high sensitivity, large peak capacities, and very low bleed. Column lifetime is improved through superior low pH stability compared to many silica HPLC column brands.
Superior batch-to-batch reproducibility
In establishing new analytical methods for the latest pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical products, reproducible HPLC column selection is essential. The selected column needs to provide the same chromatographic results over the life of the method and the new drug product. SunFire HPLC Columns have demonstrated superior reproducibility over many years. Batches randomly selected over the past 4 years show excellent reproductivity.
Reliable preparative column performance
The OBD design used in SunFire Columns delivers the most reliable and consistent preparative column performance. SunFire Preparative OBD Columns ensure equivalent chromatographic performance from analytical to preparative dimensions, eliminating the need for subsequent method re-development. SunFire Preparative Particles and columns are manufactured in a cGMP environment, under tight synthesis and column packing controls, ensuring accurate scale-up capability. SunFire Preparative OBD Columns exhibit optimum column efficiencies and lifetime through extended usage of over 1000 DMSO injections.
Stay compliant with smart column options
Ideal for compliant laboratories, smart column options are available for identifying and tracking column information. The eCord is a data recording device which is permanently attached to the column body of 2.x µm particle size (2.1 and 3.0 mm internal diameter) and ACQUITY UPLC columns and is standard for those column offerings. Rather, the eConnect column tag is a permanently attached electronic tag device for HPLC columns (3 µm particles) used with Alliance iS HPLC System that is optional. Data from column devices (eCord device or eConnect column tag) can be accessed using the respective system’s console. These smart-column abilities provide a quick overview of column history and can be utilized as a basic troubleshooting tool. Data residing on these devices are automatically imported by and later searchable via Empower CDS.
