Uptisphere Strategy Prep HPLC Columns from Advion-Interchim Scientific

Uptisphere Strategy preparative HPLC columns from Advion-Interchim Scientific are designed for high-efficiency identification, quantification, and purification of small molecules and pharmaceutical compounds. Built on high surface area silica and available in internal diameters from 4.6 mm to 50 mm with 5 µm, 10 µm, or 15 µm particle size, they deliver strong mechanical stability and reliable performance across a wide range of chromatographic modes.

Uptisphere Strategy prep columns are available in different phase options tailored to a range of separation needs.

  • Uptisphere Strategy C18-3: Designed for strong retention of non-polar analytes, this densely bonded and fully end-capped C18 phase delivers reliable performance under basic conditions and supports the purification of basic drugs up to pH 12.
  • Uptisphere Strategy C18-HQ: Offering high loading capacity from its large surface area, this versatile reversed phase C18 material provides robust retention and broad applicability across pharmaceutical purification workflows.
  • Uptisphere Strategy C18-RP: Developed for mid- to non-polar compounds, this mechanically stable reversed phase material maintains consistent selectivity and performance under both acidic and basic preparative conditions.
  • Uptisphere Strategy PHC4: Optimised for analytes containing aromatic rings or exhibiting mid-polarity, this phase delivers enhanced π-selective interactions for improved resolution of structurally complex compounds.
  • Uptisphere Strategy HILIC-HIT: Suitable for highly polar, water-soluble analytes, this hydrophilic interaction phase supports aqueous normal phase separations and offers an effective alternative to reversed phase purification for compounds with limited RP retention.
  • Uptisphere Strategy HILIC-HIA: Tailored for very polar molecules requiring strong HILIC retention, this phase operates with water/acetonitrile mobile phase and provides enhanced separation when reversed phase modes are insufficient.
  • Uptisphere Strategy SI: A traditional silica phase suited for polar organic compounds, offering straightforward normal phase retention with minimal surface modification for applications requiring simple, non-ionic interactions.
