The Discovery Zr-PS HPLC column 150x4.6mm, 5µm, employs a polystyrene-modified zirconia surface. The Discovery Zr-PS exhibits aromatic and hydrophobic interactions and can provide selectivities different to C18 or PBD. Typical applications of the Discovery Zr-PS are aromatic active substances, hydrophobic molecules, basic compounds and robust RP methods outside classical silica conditions.
The Discovery Series includes various material platforms and surface chemistries. In addition to classic silica-based reverse-phase columns, high-purity HS phases, pentafluorophenyl, RP-amide, and PEG selectivities, as well as zirconia-based phases, are available. Bio-Wide-Pore variants with larger pores are designed for peptides and proteins. This makes Discovery particularly well-suited for method development when standard C18 selectivity is insufficient or more robust surfaces are required.
