Harnessing the benefits of advanced polymer chromatography with the ACQUITY APC System means obtaining accurate and repeatable polymer and oligomer molecular weight information anywhere between 5 to 20 times faster than was possible with traditional GPC/SEC technology - so you can innovate faster while improving laboratory operations.
With the ACQUITY APC System, you can:
Waters ACQUITY Advanced Polymer Chromatography (APC) System: Accelerate your innovation with enhanced insight into polymer chemical structure with the ACQUITY APC System.
Using the ACQUITY APC System with Polymer Quaternary Solvent Manager (p-QSM) technology provides chemists and polymer scientists with the ultimate flexibility to analyze the most complex polymer blends and additives using standard polymer chromatography, gradient polymer elution chromatography (GPEC), and reverse-phase LC with a single system.
Additional system features allow automated solvent selection of up to six different solvents. Automated column bank switching capabilities can also be paired with the rigid and solvent-resilient particles of the ACQUITY APC Columns to achieve the world’s first truly automated solution for method development of size-based polymer separations. This supports separation of polymers in hours, instead of days.

Get the valuable decision-making information you need from a single analysis by equipping the ACQUITY APC System with advanced detectors. Combining the ACQUITY APC System with advanced detection solutions significantly increases information attainable from size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) analysis through addition of refractive index (RI), ultraviolet (UV), photodiode array (PDA), light scattering (LS), and differential viscometry (IV). Advanced detection options from Wyatt Technology are seamlessly integrated with ACQUITY APC System, enabling you to fully characterize samples to better inform the structure-property relationship of novel complex polymers.
The ACQUITY APC System is even more powerful with ACQUITY APC Columns and ACQUITY APC Calibration Standards Kits. The Ethylene Bridged Hybrid (BEH) Technology in ACQUITY APC Columns creates particles that ensure extreme column performance and long column lifetime under harsh operating conditions – ideal for general purpose, reversed-phase chromatography, and for method development due to extreme pH stability and applicability to the broadest range of compound classes.
With run times of less than 10 minutes, a bank of ACQUITY APC Columns can be calibrated in less than 30 minutes using ACQUITY APC Calibration Standards Kits. These standard kits have been matched to the MW range of ACQUITY APC Columns, generating a 10-point calibration for any bank combination in a simple dilute-and-shoot format. With daily column bank calibration, you can greatly improve data consistency to increase confidence in batch-to-batch measurements. Select the best column and calibration standards for a given application with our convenient selector tool.
