ACE Excel 1.7 C18 35x3.0mm

The Avantor ACE Excel C18 HPLC/UHPLC column 35x3.0mm, 1.7µm, is a classic octadecylsilyl modification (other designations: ODS, RP-18, C18) on high-purity Type B silica for reversed-phase chromatography. The Avantor ACE Excel C18 offers a universal C18 selectivity with high efficiency and very good peak shapes for acidic, basic and neutral analytes. As a standard phase it is suitable for method development, routine testing and validated procedures in many analytical laboratories. The Excel format supports high efficiency and fast analyses on UHPLC and HPLC systems. Typical applications include pharmaceutical assays, drug-related impurities, vitamins, steroids, capsaicinoids, food analysis, environmental analysis and general quality control.

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.
