A Waters XBridge Premier BEH Amide column is a type of HPLC column designed specifically for separating highly polar compounds, like carbohydrates and sugars, using a chemically stable amide phase based on the BEH (bridged ethyl hybrid) technology, offering good stability across a wide pH range (typically 2-11) and exceptional separation performance when used with UHPLC or HPLC systems; it is known for its ability to minimize analyte/surface interactions due to its MaxPeak High Performance Surface hardware technology, ensuring good peak shape and signal intensity.
- Polar analyte separation: Primarily used for retaining and separating highly polar molecules like sugars, peptides, and other hydrophilic compounds.
- BEH technology: Utilizes the stable BEH bonded phase for good chemical stability and longevity.
- Wide pH range: Can be used within a pH range of 2 to 11, allowing flexibility in mobile phase selection.
- High performance: Offers excellent separation efficiency due to the small particle size (typically 2.5 µm) and high surface area, making it suitable for UHPLC applications.
- MaxPeak surface technology: Minimizes analyte-surface interactions, leading to improved peak shape and signal intensity.
