Hydrophobic and polar characteristics combined: C18 columns with a polar embedded group (USP L1)
In comparison to a classical bonded C18 column, acidic compounds show a higher retention whereas basic compounds show a slight decrease of retention on an embedded polar column.
KNAUER columns with C18 modification and polar embedded group
ProntoSIL 120 C18 ace-EPS
ProntoSIL 200 C18 ace-EPS
ProntoSIL 120 C18 ace-EPS
Ultra pure, spherical high performance HPLC phase based on silica gel
The ProntoSIL C18 ace-EPS belongs to the new group of stationary RP-supports with polar embedded groups. In this case, the polar group consists of an embedded amide group. The packing is very stable over a wide pH range (pH 1-10). In addition, it offers a maximum of hydrophobicity combined with a maximum of polar selectivity. The silanophilic activity of the support is very low. Ultra-strong basic compounds such as amitriptyline can be eluted from the column at neutral pH values with excellent symmetrical peak shapes. The main application area of these packings is the pharmaceutical industry, where analytes often have basic or acidic groups. For the separation of these compounds these supports exhibit an enhanced polar selectivity. That means: In comparison to a classical bonded C18 column acidic compounds show a higher retention whereas basic compounds show a slight decrease of retention on an embedded polar column. The C18 ace-EPS - bonding type is available in several particle and pore sizes.
