All Chromolith® columns are made of monolithic silica with a characteristic bimodal pore structure. Chromolith® 2mm columns have macropores with 1.6 µm diameter, giving a column efficiency exceeding 100,000 plates/meter. The mesopores are 13 nm (130 Å), the surface modification is octadecylsilan with full end-capping.

In contrast to conventional particle-packed columns, Merck’s Chromolith® HPLC columns are based on state-of-the-art monolithic silica technology. Produced from a continuous piece of porous silica using a sol-gel process, Chromolith® rod columns possess a defined bimodal pore structure with macro- and mesopores in the micro- and nanometer range. The high permeability and porosity of the silica skeleton and the resulting low back pressure allow for more flexible flow rates compared to particulate columns. As a result, Chromolith® HPLC columns enable high-throughput analysis without loss of separation efficiency or peak capacity.
