XTerra Columns
Optimal selectivity at any pH for more robust separations
Historically, limitations of the stationary phase material have imposed restrictions on speed, resolution, pH, temperature, and loading capacity for scientists doing HPLC separations. XTerra HPLC Columns retain the advantages of silica without restrictions on speed, resolution, pH/temperature instability and loading.
XTerra Columns, which use the first generation of Hybrid Particle Technology (HPT), broke these boundaries and enabled scientists like you to realize the full potential of analytical and preparative separations.
Resolve your toughest separation challenges with XTerra Column chemistries, which include C18, C8, and Phenyl chemistries providing a wide range of selectivity.

Ruggedness, efficiency and speed
The Hybrid Particle Technology of XTerra HPLC Columns overcomes the limitations of silica-based and polymer-based stationary-phases by combining the best attributes of both these materials while overcoming each material’s weaknesses. The result is a rugged material that has high mechanical strength, high efficiency, excellent peak shape for bases, and easy scale-up from analytical to preparative chromatography.
Develop robust separations in less time
One of the greatest challenges facing method development scientists is creating a robust separation in the most time-efficient manner possible. XTerra Columns have a usable pH range (pH 1-12) that is twice as wide as silica-based LC columns, making method development twice as easy and twice as fast.
Direct scale-up capability
Combining the patented Optimum Bed Density (OBD) design with the unique chromatographic properties of Hybrid Particle Technology enables XTerra Prep OBD Chromatography Columns to deliver analytical performance in preparative dimensions with maximum column stability. With these capabilities, new drug candidates can go directly from the lead generation to the lead optimization stage of drug discovery. The ability to operate at high pH provides excellent peak shapes for bases and increased mass loading (upto 60x) as compared to conventional silica-based materials.
Stay compliant with smart column options
Ideal for compliant laboratories, smart column options are available for identifying and tracking column information. The eCord is a data recording device which is permanently attached to the column body of 2.x µm particle size (2.1 and 3.0 mm internal diameter) and ACQUITY UPLC columns and is standard for those column offerings. Rather, the eConnect column tag is a permanently attached electronic tag device for HPLC columns (3 µm particles) used with Alliance iS HPLC System that is optional. Data from column devices (eCord device or eConnect column tag) can be accessed using the respective system’s console. These smart-column abilities provide a quick overview of column history and can be utilized as a basic troubleshooting tool. Data residing on these devices are automatically imported by and later searchable via Empower CDS.
