Zorbax Extend-C18 HPLC Columns from Agilent
Extend-C18 columns incorporate a unique patented bidentate silane, combined with a double-endcapping process that protects the silica from dissolution at high pH - up to pH 11.5. Columns are best applied for separations of compounds that are either (1) basic and have little or no retention at low or intermediate pHs, (2) more stable or more soluble at high pH, or (3) basic and show poor peak shape at low or intermediate pH.
Agilent ZORBAX Extend-C18 HPLC columns offer high efficiency and selectivity advantages for basic compounds using high pH mobile phases up to pH 11.5. The Extend-C18 columns use a novel bidentate C18-C18 bonding technology combined with a double endcapping process to protect the silica from dissolution at high pH. This results in highly efficient separations with superior peak shape and improved resolution. Based on traditional, fully porous particles available in 1.8 µm, 3.5 µm, and 5 µm sizes for UHPLC and HPLC methods.
