High Purity, High Sample Recovery

The high-purity silica found in YMC-Pack SIL columns provides virtually complete sample recovery.  The absence of silica impurities reduces non-specific sample adsorption, which lowers sample recovery and may cause unusual peak shapes.

High Sample Loading, High Mechanical Stability

The totally porous nature of the silica found in YMC-Pack SIL columns provides high sample loading.  With some competitive silicas, the level of porosity would make the particles prone to fracture, resulting in fines and high backpressure.  However, the high chemical purity of YMC silica results in a particle structure exhibiting high mechanical strength.
