Hypercarb HPLC Columns from Thermo Scientific
All pictures shown are for illustration purpose only. Actual product may vary.
100% Porous Graphitic Carbon (PGC) is used for the retention and separation of highly polar species. Thermo Scientific Hypercarb columns are ideally suited to solve in both reversed phase and normal phase HPLC and LC-MS applications.
PGC is a unique stationary phase composed of flat sheets of hexagonally arranged carbon atoms with a satisfied valence, as in a very large polynuclear aromatic molecule. Hypercarb columns are unlike traditional silica bonded phases in both its structure and retentive properties, allowing for total pH stability and the retention and separation of highly polar species. Hypercarb columns are ideally suited to solve "problem" separations.
Some columns are for use with elevated temperatures; standard Analytical columns are stable up to 105°C, and High Temperature columns are stable up to 200°C.
