Purospher® STAR RP-18 endcapped HPLC columns are designed for universal use. Basic, neutral, and metal chelating
compounds can easily be separated with simple mobile phases – naturally without peak tailing! Thanks to its
outstanding performance and stability, Purospher® STAR RP-18 endcapped offers maximum flexibility in method
development. Robust methods can be developed over the entire pH range from 1.5 to 10.5. The high pH-stability up
to pH 10.5 allows the separation of strongly basic compounds with alkaline eluents. The combination of high purity
silica, best all-round retention characteristics, outstanding pH stability up to pH 10.5, and suitability for up to 100%
aqueous mobile phases, make Purospher® STAR RP-18 endcapped an all-round top performance column, almost
universal in its range of applications.
Available as optimized 2 μm particulate silica, these UHPLC columns based on Purospher® STAR RP-18 endcapped are
ideal for ultra-fast applications, where resolution, sensitivity and sample throughput are crucial. They are the first
choice for high-throughput screening & QC analyses, process monitoring, method development, and LC/MS applications.
Due to its balanced selectivity, Purospher® STAR RP-18 endcapped UHPLC columns cover almost all demanding
separations with tailing-free chromatograms. The Purospher® STAR RP-18 endcapped 3 μm columns are recommended
for difficult samples where clogging and back-pressure present an issue.
Purospher® STAR UHPLC columns benefits
- In UHPLC environment, speed is increased by a factor of 10
- Solvent consumption is drastically cut (up to 85%)
- Excellent peak shape for all types of acidic, basic and metal chelating analytes due to high purity silica
- Extraordinary pH stability from pH 1.5 – 10.5 for an extremely wide application range
- Enhanced sensitivity due to improved signal-to-noise ratio
