Waters Nova-Pak C18 HPLC Column with eConnect Column Tag
- This column comes equipped with an electronic eConnect column tag containing unique column-specific information. These NFC-enabled device-tagged columns were developed to automatically identify, track and digitally trace column use history. eConnect columns can be used on any HPLC, but its advantages are unlocked when used with the Waters Alliance iS System running Empower software.

Nova-Pak Columns
Scale-up from analytical to prep, simplified
Reducing solvent consumption while maintaining resolution for complex mixtures is important, but that’s a challenge with larger particle sizes. With the smaller particle sizes and shorter column lengths in Nova-Pak Columns, those problems are a thing of the past. The bonded phases of Nova-Pak Columns are available in 4 µm and 6 µm particle sizes, offering high resolution and faster, more efficient chromatography over columns packed with larger particle sizes.
Nova-Pak Analytical Columns with 4 µm particle size packing offer a range of length options with 75, 100, 150, and 300 mm length steel columns. The semi-preparative Prep Nova-Pak HR Columns are packed with 6 µm particle size packings for unparalleled separation possibilities. The high-efficiency packing of Prep Nova-Pak HR Columns provides faster separations with less solvent for the added advantage of more concentrated fractions—reducing your preparative chromatography cost. To ensure batch-to-batch reproducibility, all Nova-Pak C18, C8, Cyano and Phenyl Columns are packed according to stringent quality control (QC) procedures in Waters cGMP manufacturing facility.
