What is Different About Column Selection for UHPLC?
Only 2 Things!
1. Column Particle Size1. Smaller particle sizes are used (<3um)
2. Column Operating Pressure Limits1. Pressure limits are > 400 bar (600 – 1200 bar is typical)
Everything else about column selection remains the same!

Agilent Has Three Types of Columns for UHPLC
There are 3 column types for UHPLC – choice depends on your requirements
RRHT columns – 1.8um columns for fast LC up to 600 bar • Designed for compatibility with the Agilent RRLC • Compatible with some UHPLC’s with pressure limits up to 800 bar
RRHD columns – 1.8um columns for up to 1200 bar• Designed for compatibility with the new Agilent 1290 Infinity LC• Useable up to 12000 bar• Fully UHPLC compatible
Upcoming Poroshell 120 columns• 600 bar pressure limit for use with HPLC/UHPLC• UHPLC type performance but good fit for 400 bar LC’s

Rapid Resolution HT (1.8um) Columns for the Agilent 1200 RRLCOver 140 RRHT,1.8um 600 bar column choices available• 15 Different Column Chemistries – 14 bonded phases and silica for HILIC
use• 6 column lengths (150, 100, 75, 50, 30 and 20 mm long)• 3 internal diameters (4.6, 3.0 and 2.1 mm ID)• Each ZORBAX phase available in matching 3.5um and 5um choices, most
in 7um!• 2 Recommended Starting Choices:
– 959941-902 - Eclipse Plus C18 4.6 x 50mm, 1.8um for 1200 RRLC used for general applications
– 959741-902 – Eclipse Plus C18 2.1 x 50mm, 1.8um for the 1200 RRLC with an MS detector
– Short columns great for fast analysis and useable on non UHPLC instruments

What Can I do Beyond This with UHPLC?RRHD Columns for Use with the Infinity 1290 LCUse a wider range of mobile phase choices
More viscous solvents – methanol, other alcoholsMobile phase additives to optimize separations (they increase viscosity)
Go faster – wider flow rate range!
Use longer columns – maximize resolution!
Optimize methods faster, improve productivity!

What Type of Productivity Can Be Achieved Using RRHD Columns with the 1290 Infinity LC1. Fast analysis – especially with somewhat complex samples
1. Gradient analysis with 4-10 components or more!2. For LC and LC/MS systems
2. More resolution in a limited amount of time1. Choosing different column lengths for the resolution desired2. Maximizing peak capacity in gradient separations of complex samples

What are the Additional Concerns About Using RRHD UHPLC ColumnsAre the columns rugged and reliable?• Does the small particle size make these columns difficult to use?• Small particle size means small frit size. Does this limit my sample types?
How many injections can be done on a column and how long will it last?• Do I need to replace columns frequently?

Sample Types for RRHD Columns – Tips for Optimal Column LifetimeMinimal sample prep for completely soluble/clean samples• Use HPLC grade solvents for sample prep
Filter dirty samples for longest lifetime• Minimize particulates with 0.2um filter instead of 0.45um filter
Follow recommended directions in the column box• Data Sheet• Additional instructions on insert card (also provided in Appendix here)• Expect lifetime to be impacted by bonded phase, mobile phase, other
operating condition choices – just as with normal column selection

Protein Precipitated Plasma Can be Injected on RRHD Columns
Sample was plasma, protein precipitated, centrifuged, filtered through 0.2um filter.Columns have 0.5um frit. If you do not filter the samples shorter lifetime would be expected.

Conclusions
New Rapid Resolution High Definition (1.8um) columns are one solution for UHPLC systems – and the Agilent 1290 Infinity LC.
They are unique in the marketplace because of their ability to be used over >1000 bar.
RRHT 600 bar UHPLC columns with over 140 choices and are ideal with the Agilent 1200 RRLC.
The upcoming release of the Poroshell 120 columns provides a 3rd option for analytical UHPLC type columns because they provide productivity – efficiency and speed similar to 1.8um.

Basic Instructions for Using RRHD/RRHT Columns Effectively1. Install and run the column only in the flow direction marked
on the column
2. Use only high quality, chromatography grade solvents3. Filter all aqueous buffers and all samples through a mobile
phase appropriate 0.2um filter before use.
4. Replace bottles of mobile phase buffer every 24-48 hours –do not add mobile phase to the bottle.
5. Use an in-line filter to prolong column life. 1. 5067-1551 for 2.1 or 3.0mm ID RRHT columns or 5067-1553 for 4.6
mm ID RRHT columns2. In-line filter ships with 1290 pump for use with RRHD columns and can
be ordered separately – part number 5067-4638.

Abstract
UHPLC is a high productivity tool in the analytical lab. Modern LC column technologies such as sub 2-micron particle columns are key to maximizing productivity with these powerful LC instruments. This presentation will provide information on new Rapid Resolution High Definition; 1.8um columns manufactured with new hardware and improved packing processes to deliver superior, rugged and reliable performance with the 1290 InfinityLC. In addition, this presentation will provide some information on the soon to be available Poroshell 120 superficially porous particles as these provide an interesting alternative to sub 2-micron columns for high productivity solutions.
