We have advanced equipment and an experienced technical team, which can meet the complex sample analysis needs in different fields and ensure accurate and reliable results.
What Is Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography?
Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) is a cutting-edge analytical technique that enhances traditional High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) by leveraging smaller particle sizes, higher pressure, and improved detection capabilities. UPLC is widely recognized for its high resolution, rapid separation capabilities, and superior sensitivity, making it indispensable in modern analytical chemistry.
Key Advancements of UPLC over HPLC
- Speed & Efficiency: UPLC utilizes sub-2-micron particle size columns, significantly increasing separation efficiency and reducing analysis time.
- Higher Resolution: The smaller particle size allows better peak separation, enabling precise identification of closely related compounds.
- Enhanced Sensitivity: With lower detection limits, UPLC can analyze trace-level compounds with greater accuracy.
- Improved Throughput: Shorter analysis times and automation lead to increased sample processing efficiency.
- Lower Solvent Consumption: Reduced run times minimize solvent usage, making UPLC more cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
- High-Pressure Tolerance: UPLC operates at pressures exceeding 15,000 psi, which allows for greater chromatographic efficiency and better separation performance.
Due to these advantages, UPLC is a preferred method for biopharmaceutical analysis, environmental testing, material science, and food safety assessments. In addition, UPLC can also be used in conjunction with other detection methods such as mass spectrometry (MS) and fluorescence detectors to further enhance the ability of protein analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are the key differences between UPLC and HPLC?
UPLC offers higher resolution, greater sensitivity, and faster analysis compared to HPLC due to the use of sub-2-micron particle size columns and higher operating pressures (up to 15,000 psi).
-
Can UPLC be used for large biomolecules such as proteins and polysaccharides?
Yes, UPLC is highly effective for protein and polysaccharide analysis when combined with specialized columns (e.g., size-exclusion or hydrophilic interaction chromatography columns).
-
What detection methods can be integrated with UPLC?
UPLC can be coupled with Mass Spectrometry (MS), UV, fluorescence, and refractive index detectors, allowing for highly versatile analytical applications.
-
How long does a typical UPLC analysis take?
The duration depends on the sample complexity and analytical requirements, but UPLC typically reduces analysis time by 50% or more compared to HPLC. You can consult us for solution analysis.
