Phenyl HPLC columns are the best alternative to
RP-8 or RP-18 columns for the separation of aromatic
compounds, and compounds containing aromatic
groups. Purospher® STAR Phenyl can retain analytes via
several different mechanisms, including π-π interactions
between the overlap of the delocalized electrons on
the analyte and the stationary phase phenyl group, and
via partitioning between the mobile phase and the
hydrophobic aryl-alkyl phase.
The new Purospher® STAR Phenyl columns are based on
high-purity silica particles, which provide symmetrical
peaks for basic compounds, as well as high stability
and excellent reproducibility. Furthermore, hydrophobic
compounds elute much faster with Purospher® STAR
Phenyl columns than with C-18 columns.
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.
