eConnect smart column capabilities ensure complete column traceability and facilitate post-run troubleshooting.

Waters' new eConnect technology is a standard feature of the CHC that can be utilized by purchasing eConnect-enabled versions of Waters chromatographic columns (eConnect HPLC Columns). Ready-to-use from the box, eConnect columns are securely fitted with a near-field communication (NFC)-enabled eConnect device tag during manufacture, ensuring that they are always automatically identified, verified, and tracked by the system.

After you install an eConnect-tagged column in the CHC and shut the component's door, the tag is detected automatically. Then, the tag's eConnect technology interacts with a compatible version of Empower system software to read the column's unique device identifiers, display this information on the system's touchscreen, and log that data for each injection.
