Unique Selectivity
Phenyl columns provide unique selectivity when compared to aliphatic straight chain reversed-phase materials such as C18, C8, and C4. The π electrons of the phenyl group can interact with the aromatic ring(s) of an analyte to increase retention relative to non-aromatic species. Phenyl also has application as an alternative to C18 and C4 for the analysis of peptides and proteins on both small-pore (120Å) and wide-pore (300Å) silica supports. Retention is decreased on wide-pore phenyl phases relative to 120Å material. Generally, as pore size increases, surface area decreases, resulting in shorter retention times.
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.
