UAMP Column Kit
Column Kit for microplastics analysis
The UAMP Column Kit designed specifically for microplastics analysis* consists of a separation column (UA5-30M-0.5F), a specially designed precolumn (UA Precolumn 50-1M), and a connector (UA Connector).
Using this product improves the accuracy of qualitative and quantitative analysis of a specific plastic in polymer mixture samples using “F-Search MPs” software. Also, it reduces the contamination of the separation column, thus reducing the replacement frequency.
*Analysis of the 12 most produced polymers in the world：PE/PC/ABS/PP/PMMA/SBR/PS/PET/PU/PVC/N6/N66

Specifications
1. Improved peak separation with precolumn
For the 12 commonly used polymers*, pyrolyzates of each polymer can be analyzed with good separation and peak shape.
2. Precolumn helps reduce column contamination
Periodic replacement of the precolumn maintains the performance of the separation column since high boiling contaminants are retained in the precolumn.
3. Connectivity to a Multi-Functional Splitless Sampler
Connecting a Multi-Functional Splitless Sampler (MFS-2015E, Frontier Labs) between the precolumn and separation column allows splitless pyrolysis and backflushing.
