Merck Millipore offers a comprehensive range of high-quality HPLC columns. Among these are a wide
selection of columns that meet USP (United States Pharmacopoeia) specifications. The L nomenclature was
introduced by the USP to designate column types for high-performance liquid chromatography. To help you
select the appropriate HPLC column for your application, the table below describes various L columns as well
as the corresponding HPLC columns available from Merck Millipore.
