SiliaChrom®- XDB1 HPLC Columns
SiliaChrom XDB1 phases present the wider range of polarity of SiliCycle HPLC columns (C18 to normal phase). This phase presents the maximum bonding density for all polarities. This allows least interaction between the analytes and the surface OH's. This phase is not recommended for samples containing highly hydrophobic compounds.
SiliaChrom XDB1 C18: Designed for maximum hydrophobicity and efficient for dirty samples.

SiliaChrom XDB1 C8: Less hydrophobic than C18 but good C8 for high pH.

SiliaChrom XDB1 C4: Exceptionnally stable C4 with high bonding coverage at low silanol activity.

SiliaChrom XDB1 CN: Maximum hydrophobicity and accepts normal and reversed conditions.
