Symmetry HPLC Columns
Silica-based columns that exceed HPLC column performance expectations
Reproducible HPLC columns are essential when developing analytical methods for pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical products. Achieving the same chromatographic results over the lifetime of a new drug product is critical, and no other silica-based LC column brand can match the column-to-column and batch-to-batch reproducibility of the Symmetry family.
Available in column and guard formats, Symmetry Columns are manufactured using high purity silica and tightly controlled manufacturing processes to ensure that you receive a column that exceeds the standards for HPLC column performance.

Rugged and reproducible HPLC column performance
With Symmetry HPLC Columns, you’ll achieve reliable column-to-column and batch-to-batch reproducibility. Symmetry’s narrow column specification ranges minimize variation, giving you the confidence that the methods you use today will continue to be used in the future.
Superior peak shape
Symmetry Shield Columns feature the Waters patented embedded polar group technology that shields the silica's residual silanols from highly basic analytes and improves overall peak shape. Placing the embedded polar group close to the silica surface further reduces surface silanol activity, and the embedded polar group technology allows you to improve chromatographic peak shape and selectivity in the most challenging of method conditions.
Deliver high peptide recovery
All Symmetry300 columns are QC tested with peptide samples to ensure exceptional batch-to-batch reproducibility. These wide-pore (300 Å), reversed-phase chromatography columns deliver superior performance when simultaneously separating hydrophilic and hydrophobic peptides, neutral, and highly basic peptides. With a Symmetry300 column, you can expect better performance with either high or low mass loads.
