The BIOshell A160 Peptide Cyano HPLC-/UHPLC column 150x0.1mm, 5µm, carries a cyano modification on 160Å fused-core particles. The BIOshell A160 Peptide Cyano offers more polar interactions and lower hydrophobicity than alkyl phases. The BIOshell A160 Peptide Cyano is used for polar peptides, short peptide sequences, hydrophilic protein fragments and selectivity screenings.
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.
