Purospher® RP-18 HC
Inner Diameter (I.D.): 4 mm
Length: 250 mm
Package Contents: 1 Cartridge
Purospher® RP-18 HC is a non-endcapped stationary phase providing high resolution for the separation of
explosives and related compounds.
The determination of traces of explosives in soil and water samples in combination with solid-phase extraction is
of great importance for scenarios like hazardous waste site characterization. With this HPLC column, also microbial
transformation products of TNT (2-amino-4,6-dinitrotoluene [2-Am-DNT] and 4-amino-2,6-dinitrotoluene
[4-Am-DNT]) and manufacturing impurities of TNT (2,4-DNT, 2,6-DNT, and 1,3-DNB) could easily be separated from
each other. Purospher® RP-18 HC is also suitable for the separation of picric acid from hexyl and ethylene glycol
dinitrate (EGDN) from diethylene glycol nitrate (DEGN).
Purospher® RP-18 HC benefits
- Separation of polar, non-basic analytes
- Traces determination of explosives
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.
