The BIOshell A400 Protein C18 HPLC-/UHPLC column 75x4.6mm, 3.4µm, employs a C18 modification on 400Å pores. The BIOshell A400 Protein C18 provides stronger retention than the C4 variant and is suitable for more hydrophobic proteins or peptide mixtures. Typical applications of the BIOshell A400 Protein C18 are protein digestion, protein fragments, peptide mapping and bioanalysis.
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.
BIOshell is a registered trademark of the manufacturer Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany.
