Separate Mixed-Polarity Samples Quickly
YMC-Pack C4 (Butyl) columns are less hydrophobic than C8 or C18 packings, and generally utilize more aqueous eluents than either of these reversed-phase column types. When compared to C8 and C18 columns (using the same eluents), C4 stationary phases show significantly shorter retention for non-polar compounds. Retention of polar compounds, however, is not significantly affected. Therefore, mixtures with a wide range of component polarity are best analyzed by YMC-Pack C4. This is due to the C4 bonded phase exhibiting shorter analysis time while still maintaining high resolution when compared to longer-chain bonded chemistries.
YMC’s Guard Column Cartridge Systems for Semi-Prep HPLC utilize cartridges of 10, 20, or 30mm inner diameters – in 10mm lengths. Cartridges are available with a comprehensive selection including all stationary phase chemistries offered by YMC, ensuring compatibility between the guard column and the analytical column (including columns by other manufacturers). Assembly is tool-free, simplifying cartridge replacement.
YMC Guard Column Cartridges require the use of a holder, P/N: XPCHSPW1 for 10mm I.D., P/N: XPCHSPW2 for 20mm I.D. and P/N: XPCHSPW3 for 30mm I.D.

Sold Individually
YMC’s semi-preparative & preparative Guard Columns for HPLC are available in 10mm diameter with 30mm length as well as 20mm, 30mm, and 50mm diameters with 50mm lengths. These guard columns are available with a comprehensive stationary phase selection offered by YMC, ensuring compatibility between the guard column and the semi-preparative or preparative column. Unlike our guard cartridge columns, these guard columns do not require a holder.
