Storage of Aurora Series columns

Aurora Series columns should be stored in a cool, dry environment. Each column has a recommended shelf life of 24-months from the date of manufacture, making them easy to purchase in bulk and keep on hand for future use.

Note
To maintain optimal performance and extend column lifetime, we recommend keeping the column installed once in use. If removal is required, please refer to our Removal from a UHPLC article for proper handling instructions.
