The Astec Chirobiotic VGuard cartridges 20x4.0mm, 5µm, are used for column protection of Astec Chirobiotic V HPLC columns. The holder 59660-U is used as the appropriate mount for the Supel Guard pre-column cartridges.
Astec CHIROBIOTIC columns are based on macrocyclic glycopeptide selectors bound to high-purity silica. The selectors offer multiple interaction sites, including ionic interactions, hydrogen bonds, dipole interactions, steric recognition, and hydrophobic contributions. As a result, CHIROBIOTIC phases can be used in normal-phase, reverse-phase, polar-organic, and polar-ionic modes. The choice of selector determines which enantiomers are recognized particularly well.
