Sub-2 micron porous silica for UHPLC / Stable lot-to=lot quality and superior separation
Our UHPLC columns include COSMOSIL 1.8C18-MS-II, made with fully porous silica, and COSMOCORE 2.6C18, made with core-shell silica. Users should choose the appropriate column based on their instrument and analysis requirements. This pamphlet lists some characteristics of each column.

Because the fully porous silica has pores throughout its structure, it can interact with the sample over a very wide surface area. As the amount of octadecyl phase that can be bonded increases, hydrophobic samples can be retained longer, leading to improved separation. |
With core-shell silica’s nonporous core, sample dispersion is reduced; compared to fully porous columns, high theoretical plate numbers can be achieved even with larger particles. These larger particles result in lower backpressure, enabling use on conventional HPLC instruments. |
*Silica gel columns are generally recommended to be used within pH 2–7.5. Outside this range, column degradation may happen more quickly.
