ACE Excel 2 AQ Method Validation Kit, 150x2.1mm, UoM: 1 * 1 items

The Avantor ACE Excel AQ HPLC/UHPLC column 150x2.1mm, 2µm, is a specially designed C18-type phase for reversed-phase chromatography with a very high water content in the mobile phase. The Avantor ACE Excel AQ remains stably wettable even under highly aqueous conditions and supports the retention of polar acids, bases and neutral compounds. This makes the phase suitable for early elution regions where classical C18 phases often show insufficient retention or wetting problems. The Excel format supports high efficiency and fast analyses on UHPLC and HPLC systems. Typical applications are organic acids, maleic and fumaric acid, paracetamol, cysteine, cystine, pharmaceutical impurities and polar environmental analytes.

Features and Benefits

• UHPLC/HPLC hardware for high pressure stability and low system dispersion
• Ultra-inert, base-deactivated, fully porous silica particles
• Wide range of phases for rapid method development
• Excellent peak shape and reproducibility for acidic, basic, and neutral analytes
• Particle sizes for high resolution and fast routine analyses

Additional Information

Avantor ACE Excel combines ACE silica chemistry with a UHPLC-compatible column format. The high-purity, base-deactivated silica matrix minimizes secondary interactions and ensures reproducible retention times. The combination of inert silica, controlled ligand bonding, and pressure-stable hardware allows methods to be implemented in both UHPLC and conventional HPLC systems. Compatible Avantor ACE Excel guard cartridges protect the analytical column from the sample matrix and help maintain the performance of the Excel method over extended runs.
