Analysis of Basic Compounds

Conventionally end-capped C18 columns still have many residual silanol groups on the silica surface of stationary phase that can form ionic bonds with basic compounds. The resulting peak tailing makes accurate quantification of analytes difficult, especially in trace analyses. COSMOSIL 3C18-EB with a better end-capping treatment offers improved peak shape and separation particularly for basic compounds.

Analysis of Acidic or Metal Coordination Compounds

Acidic or metal coordination compounds can also form bonds with residual silanol groups and metal impurities causing peak tailing. COSMOSIL 3C18-EB with a better end-capping treatment and high purity silica gel offers improved peak shape and separation for acidic or metal coordination compounds.

Synthesis Reproducibility

If you use insufficiently end-capped C18 columns for basic compound analyses, you may need to spend much time adjusting mobile phase conditions. You may need
  1. more than 3 or more organic solvents or buffers
  2. ion-pair reagents or additives
  3. buffers in different pH

In addition, the complexity of the mobile phase often is detrimental to reproducibility. COSMOSIL 3C18-EB with a new end-capping treatment allows good peak shape and separation using simple mobile phase conditions.
