GL Sciences InertSustain AQ-C18 columns are designed to achieve strong retention for highly polar compounds, which is the most challenging goal in developing reversed phase methods. The optimization of bonding of the C18 groups at equal distance to the silica gel enable InertSustain AQ-C18 to offer significant retention for highly polar compounds even under water rich mobile phases.
Features
- Based on high purity evolved surface (ES) silica
- Exceptional retention for highly polar compounds
- Highly inert packing material results in less tailing of peaks for virtually any type of analytes
- Extreme resistance to low and high pH mobile phases with pH range of 1 - 10
- Reliable reproducibility, performance & quality
- Endlessly reproducible from column-to-column and batch-to-batch
- L1 and L96 USP deignation
- 1.9 µm columns maximum operating pressure is 800 bar
- 3 µm HP columns maximum operating pressure is 500 bar
- 3 and 5 µm columns maximum operating pressure is 200 bar
- Guard cartridges E with 10 mm length require guard holder part number 5020-08500
- UHPLC guard cartridges require guard holder part number 5020-08630
