LiChrospher® 100 RP-18 Endcapped
Inner Diameter (I.D.): 4 mm
Length: 125 mm
Package Contents: 3 Cartridges
LiChrospher® 100 RP-18 and LiChrospher® 100 RP-18 endcapped are reliable and versatile traditionally produced
spherical silica carriers with reversed-phase properties. They are well suited for the chromatography of acidic,
neutral and weakly basic compounds, substances found frequently in all analytical fields. For LiChrospher® RP-18,
a masterbatch concept, where several individual batches are used to produce a large batch (“the masterbatch”)
of the LiChrospher® RP-18 sorbent, is used with the aim of eliminating the variation between the individual batches.
With LiChroCART® cartridges the user works with re-usable endfittings which fit different cartridge lengths.
Since these cartridge holders may remain in the system and the capillary connections do not need to be detached,
the cartridges may be changed within the shortest possible time. Changing a separation cartridge from a length
of 125 to 250 mm and back presents no problems. Furthermore, the adaptation of internal diameter (3 mm or 2 mm)
to the analysis problem is possible within a few minutes. The endfittings are designed to allow the cartridges to be
hand-sealed at normal working pressures of 150 to 200 bar without the need for any tools. Only at higher pressures
may further tightening with a wrench become necessary.
