Symmetry Shield RP18 Column, 100Å, 3.5 µm, 4.6 mm X 50 mm, 1/pk
The SymmetryShield RP18 Column is based on Waters' patented embedded polar group technology-- in essence, it 'shields' the silica's residual surface silanols from highly basic analytes. Because of its unique column properties and the embedded polar group being in close proximity to the silica surface, the activity of surface silanols is further reduced and results in improved peak shape and resolution.
The SymmetryShield RP18 Column is excellent to use in highly aqueous mobile phases, especially in applications that require low organic mobile phase conditions. The SymmetryShield RP18 Column is designed to prevent any pore dewetting because the embedded polar group maintains the wetted-pore surface. Due to its design, the equipment will result in retention of your analyte and eliminates the requirement of a long re-wetting and column re-equilibration process.
This lab equipment is built to offer the narrowest ligand surface coverage (ligand density) in the industry, which leads you to outstanding reproducibility. Because of its excellent operational capacity and minimal shifts in resolutions, you get more reproducibility from batch-to-batch and column-to-column.
The Symmetry Shield RP18 Column is also designed to last you a long time and reduce your overall lab equipment cost as it offers optimized performance. It combines two main factors that impact the column’s lifetime, the hydrolytic stability of the packing material and the mechanical stability of the packed bed.
