This booklet provides general
information for all ZORBAX, Poroshell,
Pursuit, and Polaris reversed-phase
columns. For additional detailed
information about your specic phase or
family, see:

Getting started
A QC Column Performance Report, including a test
chromatogram, is enclosed with every Agilent column. The
QC test system has been modied from a standard system
to minimize system dead volume, so it may vary from the
system used in your lab. This allows a better evaluation of the
column and assures a more consistent product. A properly
congured LC system will generate similar results to the
chromatogram on your QC Performance Report.
Modern columns are robust and are designed to operate
for long periods under normal chromatographic conditions.
You can maximize column performance by running it within
specications. Always review the specications before
putting in place a nal method.
