YMCbasic HPLC Analytical HPLC Columns
YMCbasic shows a different hydrophobicity and represents a complementing selectivity to C8 and C18 materials.
YMCbasic offers high resolution and excellent peak symmetry for basic compounds without the need of ion pair reagents or amine modifiers. Unlike many base-deactivated phases, YMCbasic is also suitable for separation of acidic compounds, showing slight retention of highly polar acid compounds such as maleate.
YMCbasic columns are specifically designed to enhance the chromatographic analysis of basic compounds. These columns offer a unique solution for challenges commonly faced in the separation of basic molecules, such as tailing peaks due to interaction with residual silanol groups on the silica surface. YMCbasic exhibits different hydrophobic properties compared to C8 and C18 phases, offering complementary selectivity. Ideal for use in pharmaceuticals, environmental testing, and academic research, YMCbasic columns ensure superior performance with basic analytes.
Features
- Equivalent to C8 stationary phase that meets USP L7 specifications
- Complementary selectivity to C8 and C18 stationary phases
- Specialised bonding approach reduces peak tailing of basic compounds
- No need for ion pair reagents or amine modifiers to improve peak shape
- While optimised for basic compounds, YMCbasic columns also perform excellently with neutral and acidic analytes, making them a versatile choice for multi-compound analyses
- Available with fully porous silica in either 3 µm or 5 µm particle sizes
- Guard columns are recommended to protect the analytical column to extend its lifetime
- Fully scalable from capillary to preparative dimensions
