- Virtually free of trace metal contaminants which can cause peak tailing
- Outstanding peak shape for acids and bases
- Exceptional physical and chemical durability provides long column life
- Vast database of chromatographic applications available to assist in method development
- One of most popular and trusted HPLC columns in industry for nearly 15 years
The original 2-Series Inertsil phases, including C8, ODS-2, Ph, C4, and SIL-150A°, created the high purity silica revolution in the late 1980s. These phases utilize a 99.999% pure silica get which is extremely durable and free from dents and cracks which can cause premature column failure.
The original Inertsil 2-Series of columns remain some of the most useful and popular on the market today. However, GL Sciences' Inertsil 3-Series phases were a major advancement on the original 2-Series, and generally provide superior chromatography and alternative selectivity to the 2-Series. We recommend starting out with Inertsil C8-3 for new methods where a C8 (octyl) phase seems most appropriate.
