The BIOshell A160 Peptide C18 HPLC-/UHPLC column 100x2.1mm, 2µm, is a C18 phase with 160Å pores for peptides. The BIOshell A160 Peptide C18 is used in proteomics, peptide mapping and LC–MS methods and delivers high efficiency with shorter diffusion paths. Applications of the BIOshell A160 Peptide C18 include enzymatic digests, synthetic peptides, peptide impurities and bioanalytical methods.
BIOshell columns use fused-core particles designed for biomolecules. Depending on the phase, larger pores are available for intact proteins and antibodies, medium-sized pores for peptides and oligonucleotides, and HILIC-like surfaces for glycans. The short diffusion path of the core-shell particles promotes narrow peaks, while the surface chemistry is optimized for typical bio-LC applications. As a result, BIOshell can be used for fast, sensitive, and MS-compatible bioanalytics.
