Description
Our new inert LC column technology helps labs improve their analysis of metal-sensitive compounds. A premium inert coating applied to the stainless-steel surface of our LC columns reduces nonspecific binding of chelating analytes, enabling sensitive analysis and smooth integration of peaks. The culmination of 20+ years in LC, Force performance LC columns are long-lasting and reproducible, even under the stress of UHPLC. Premium quality is backed by the strength of our 100% Pure Satisfaction guarantee. And perhaps most important, Force columns are fully scalable between 3 or 5 µm HPLC and 1.8 µm UHPLC, so you can easily transfer and optimize methods without extensive calculations. Apply Force LC columns to all of your HPLC and UHPLC instrument platforms. Restek's FluoroPhenyl phase offers chromatographers the ability to run in reversed-phase or HILIC mode for a variety of compounds. Restek's FluoroPhenyl columns are also amenable to LC-MS because they are extremely reliable and efficient with acidic mobile phases. Stationary Phase Category: Pentafluorophenyl propyl (L43) Ligand Type: Fluorophenyl Particle: 1.8 µm, 3 μm, or 5 μm fully porous silica Pore Size: 100 Å Carbon Load: 10% End-Cap: no Surface Area: 300 m 2 /g Recommended Usage: pH Range: 2.0–8.0 Maximum Temperature: 80 °C Maximum Pressure: 1034 bar/15,000 psi* (1.8 μm), 600 bar/8700 psi (3 μm); 400 bar/5800 psi (5 μm) * For maximum lifetime, recommended maximum pressure for 1.8 μm particles is 830 bar/12,000 psi. Properties: Capable of both reversed-phase and HILIC separations. Ideal for increasing sensitivity and selectivity in LC-MS analyses. Offers increased retention for charged bases. Switch to a FluoroPhenyl LC column when: Limited retention and selectivity are observed on a C18 for basic compounds. You need increased retention of hydrophilic compounds.
