Inertsil columns were developed by GL Sciences in 1986 for sample separations using high-performance liquid chromatography. Starting with Inertsil ODS, a new type of bonded silica was produced providing unmatched performance and reproducibility. Further refinements of evolved silica and the introduction of new phases have allowed Inertsil to achieve industry leading performance for analyte separation to become one of the most highly used columns for HPLC.
Inertsil ODS-3 is still GL Sciences’ most popular phase and continues to be used world widely and reliably for long established methods in pharmaceutical, and contract research labs. Inertsil ODS-3 has a relatively strong retentivity compared to commercially available ODS columns. In addition, the introduction of higher surface area silica provide high preparative loading capacity without sacrificing peak shape.
