Waters PATROL UPLC

The PATROL™ UPLC® Process Analyzer is a real-time Process Analytical Technology (PAT) System that detects and quantifies complex multiple component manufacturing samples and final product directly on the production floor.         

Designed with the same enabling technology that drives the ACQUITY UPLC® System, PATROL UPLC moves existing liquid chromatography (LC) analysis from off-line Quality Control (QC) laboratories directly to the manufacturing process, resulting in significant improvements in production efficiency:    

• Delivers real-time analysis in step with manufacturing processes     
• Provides the selectivity, sensitivity, and dynamic range of LC analysis     
• UPLC’s fast resolving power quickly quantifies related and unrelated compounds     
• Reduces process cycle times, so that more product can be produced with existing resources     
• Enables manufactures to produce more material that consistently meet or exceeds the product specifications, potentially eliminating variability, failed batches, or the need to re-work material     
• Assures end-product quality, including final release testing
