µBondapak C18 Column, 125Å, 10 µm, 3.9 mm X 150 mm, 1/pk
When your method calls for irregular particle technology, only Waters offers columns that contain µBondapak C18 packing materials- which is why no other column has ever passed our stringer quality control batch tests. µBondapak remains one of the most widely referenced and requested columns due to the year-to-year reproducibility achieved through this technology. The general-purpose, reversed-phase µBondapak C18 column is based on 10 μm particle technology and provides a balance between resolution, throughput, and cost that no other column offers as a starting point for preparative chromatography.
Because most HPLC packing materials were originally comprised of irregular or non-spherically shaped particles, many scientists saw reduced mechanical stability and lowered efficiency when compared to columns that utilized spherical particles. Despite these challenges, many methods used in laboratories today require the use of sorbents that contain irregularly shaped particles. For over four decades, Waters has demonstrated reliable and consistent column performance in the manufacturing of sorbents and bonded materials. We continue to support these columns and accessories for scientists around the globe.
All Waters lab equipment, including µBondapak columns, are manufactured under tightly maintained quality control processes and narrow specification ranges that ensure high quality and reproducible results across chromatographic applications.
This column arrives with one item per package, a column with an inner diameter of 3.9 mm and a length of 150 mm. The pore diameter is 125Å and the surface area is 330, with a pH range of 2 pH to 8 pH. It is recommended to pair this column with a µBondapak C18 Guard-Pak Insert, 125Å, 10 µm, 10/pk.
What Do I Do If I Am Having Problems With My μBondapak C18 Column?
Poor chromatography can often be attributed to a system problem or contamination. The first step you can take when you notice changes in retention time, resolution, or backpressure is to follow column guidelines on cleaning and regenerating. If that does not work, troubleshooting your system in accordance with your system guide is recommended. If further assistance is needed, our experienced team of chromatographic specialists provides customer support for corrective, preventative, and quality maintenance.
