Overview
C18 column is octadecyl silane bonded silica packing (Octadecylsilyl, ODS for short). This kind of packing plays an extremely important role in reversed-phase chromatography. It can complete 70-80% of the analysis tasks of high-performance liquid chromatography. Since C18 (ODS) is a long-chain alkyl bonded phase with higher carbon content and better hydrophobicity, it is the most widely used type of bonded phase in chromatographic analysis.
Welch C18 column is our one of the core product . Its has a lot of models, mainly including conventional reversed-phase columns, 1.8μm ultra-high pressure analytical columns, and core-shell analytical columns. In this article, we will get to know the conventional reversed-phase chromatographic columns we use most often. Mainly introduce the various models of our Welch chromatographic column, tolerate the pH range, and compare the characteristics of the various chromatographic columns themselves.

Ultislil ® Polar RP
Tolerance pH range: 1.5-10.0
Characteristics
- Reversed phase column with different selectivity from ordinary C18;
- The embedding of polar groups enables the alkyl phase to be solvated and wetted by water when the organic ratio in the mobile phase is very low (even when 100% of the water mobile phase), and phase collapse will not occur;
- Better retention and selectivity of polar substances;
- C18 is the preferred column for the detection of organic acids.
Xtimate ® C18
Tolerance pH range: 1.0-12.5
Characteristics
- The organic-inorganic hybrid surface technology patented by Welch is used to modify the silica gel matrix, which is specially designed for the development of liquid chromatography method, and can use a variety of mobile phase systems and a wide temperature range for method development in a wide pH range;
- Under the most severe conditions, it also has very stable performance and longer service life. Under conventional conditions, it has a longer service life than ordinary C18. It is produced by advanced innovative technology and carries out quality control according to strict quality standards. It is a reliable solution for users for difficult chromatographic separation;
- There is an excellent peak shape for the determination of alkaline easily tailing substances under neutral conditions.
Topsil ® C18
Tolerance pH range: 2.0-9.5
Characteristics
- A relatively economical chromatographic column;
- Slightly different selectivity from Uitimate xb-c18. The column efficiency is 80000 / m, the column pressure is relatively low, and the effect of separating complex substances is worse than xb-c18. Making some simple substances requires the first choice of economic chromatographic column.
Welchrom ® C18
Tolerance pH range: 1.5-10.0
Charactericstics
- Economical chromatographic column, low column pressure, low price, high cost performance, advanced performance in products at the same price.
