Purospher® RP-18 Endcapped
Inner Diameter (I.D.): 4 mm
Length: 4 mm
Package Contents: 10 Pieces
Purospher® RP-18 endcapped is a versatile HPLC column providing separations with excellent peak symmetry for both
basic and strongly acidic compounds. Simply composed eluents can be employed for the separation of basic drugs.
This results in shorter analysis time and increases laboratory productivity. The excellent balance of chromatographic
properties is the key for better separating complex samples with simple, neutral eluents. Purospher® RP-18 endcapped
is based upon a high purity, metal-free silica with a complete coverage of the silica surface with C18-ligands. This
enables a peak-tailing free elution of acidic, basic, and chelating compounds. Key applications are the determination
of various azo dyestuff amines and beta-blockers demonstrating the good resolution and high peak symmetry.
Additionally, the chemical stability of Purospher® RP-18 endcapped is high. Mobile phase conditions at pH 8 could be
applied for a long period of time without loss of performance. Purospher® RP-18 endcapped columns have excellent
selectivity and column efficiency – allowing robust method development in R&D and QC.
Purospher® RP-18 endcapped benefits
- Excellent column selectivity for both basic and strongly acidic drugs
- Robust and fast method development with simple, neutral eluents
With LiChroCART® cartridges the user works with re-usable endfittings which fit different cartridge lengths.
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.
