Isomer Separation? Try Chiral columns

Isomers are compounds with similar structures and their chemical equilibrium constant(K) is almost the same. It’s very difficult to operate chromatography separation on isomers, especially the separation of meta and para isomers on the benzene ring. Usually, we would choose HPLC columns with steric hindrance to analysis, such as Ultisil XS-C18, Ultisil PFP, Ultisil Read more…

Oxidative damage in GC column

Oxygen is a hazardous substance for most of the capillary columns. At room temperature, the column will not be damaged. But as the column temperature increases, the column will be severely damaged. It is important to be noted that polar GC columns will be severely damaged at low oxygen concentrations. Part.1 Apparent phenomena of oxidative damage and influence on analysis ● Influence on column efficiency The Read more…

Core-shell column:get high efficiency at low pressure

Superior core-shell column There are mainly two kinds of chromatographic packing materials: silica gel and polymer. Their structural difference makes maintenance and separation results different. Silica based packing materials contain fully porous silica, ethyl bridged hybrid silica, monolithic silica and core-shell silica. Ultra-efficient analytical results of UHPLC can be obtained on a HPLC instrument with a core-shell Read more…
