Symmetry Shield RP8 Column, 100Å, 3.5 µm, 4.6 mm X 150 mm, 1/pk
By utilizing the unique feature of narrow specification ranges offered by the Symmetry Shield RP8 Column, you can get outstanding reproducibility as the lab equipment offers the narrowest ligand surface coverage (ligand density) in the industry. This means that you get minimal shifts in resolutions and, thus, more reproducible results from batch-to-batch and column-to-column.
The Symmetry Shield RP8 Column is perfect for use with highly aqueous mobile phases, especially in applications that require low organic mobile phase conditions. The lab equipment prevents pore dewetting as the embedded polar group maintains the wetted pore surface, which in turn ensures retention of your analyte and eliminates the need for a lengthy re-wetting and column re-equilibration process.
Since the Symmetry Shield RP8 Column offers optimized performance and the combination of two main factors that impact the column’s lifetime, the hydrolytic stability of the packing material and mechanical stability of the packed bed, it is guaranteed to last you a long time and reduce your lab equipment cost.
Due to the lower silanol activity than the conventional columns, the Symmetry Shield RP8 Column exhibits less retention for basic compounds, making it an excellent method development tool. Additionally, you get superior peak shape across the 2-8 pH range with the Symmetry Shield RP8 Column, as it has high bonding density and minimal residual silanol activity of packing materials. This means that you can choose to work at neutral or low pH to optimize your method without compromising the peak shape. The analytical will help you in developing new methods faster and improve the laboratory’s productivity by delivering lower levels of detection and quantitation.
