COSMOSIL Reversed Phase Speciality Columns
Reversed phase HPLC columns have been widely used because of their superior resolution, high theoretical plate number and ease of use. Since hydrophobic interaction is the dominant separation mechanism in reversed phase chromatography, conventional stationary phases such as C18 and C18 do not offer optimum selectivity for compounds with similar hydrophobicity. COSMOSIL offers a broad selection of columns with unique stationary phases for separation of these difficult analytes. These columns offer improved separation of structurally similar compounds that are difficult to analyze with a C18 type column.
