InertSustainSwift C18 3µm 3.0 x 100mm HPLC Column

The InertSustainSwift C18 HPLC column 100x3.0mm, 3µm, is based on an octydecylsilyl phase (also known as ODS, RP-18, C18) for reverse-phase chromatography. The silica framework is specially modified to achieve high inertness and to extend the usable pH range to 1–10. Combined with its large pore size of 200 Å and relatively low carbon loading of 9% C, the InertSustainSwift C18 is designed to elute analytes as quickly as possible with symmetrical peaks. This phase even exhibits lower hydrophobicity compared to InertSustain C8. As a result, InertSustainSwift C18 can be specifically used for methods that require accelerated analysis. Furthermore, this phase is compatible with 100% aqueous mobile phases. Typical applications include the pharmaceutical industry, food analysis, and environmental analysis.

Performance Characteristics and Advantages

• Specially modified silica for high pH values
• Very low backpressure
• High inertness toward all analytes (base-deactivated)
• High efficiency
• Compatible with many solvents

Additional Notes

The InertSustain series features a specially modified silica. This allows for precise control of the properties of the silica matrix. In addition, the columns exhibit high pH stability. As with the established Inertsil series, the InertSustain materials also demonstrate very high inertness toward all analytes—a phenomenon also referred to as base deactivation. Furthermore, these materials exhibit very low backpressure while maintaining high efficiencies. The service life can be extended by using appropriate pre-column cartridges.
