First analysis with ultra high inertness and high durability

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.

Generally, conventional PEEK hardware is tolerable up to a back pressure of 20 MPa. The mechanical strength of PEEK is far less than stainless steel and the durability to be very low as well. As illustrated on the right, the introduction of a radically new Steel-Coated-PEEK hardware offer maximum operating pressure of 80 MPa for sub-2 μm columns achieving rapid analysis for analytes sensitive to frequently used stainless steel columns.

Not only the hardware, but the frits are also made from PEEK, which the sample contacts only PEEK.
