SiliaBond^® - Chromatographic Phases

SiliaBond^® C18 (or C18) is the traditional matrix for reversed-phase chromatography. The high loading provides the highest degree of hydrophobicity commercially available. Considered as the least selective phase since it interacts with a wide range of organic molecules.

SiliaBond^® C18 (or C18) is the traditional matrix for reversed-phase chromatography. The high loading provides the highest degree of hydrophobicity commercially available. Considered as the least selective phase since it interacts with a wide range of organic molecules. Also used in ion-pairing chromatography (non-endcapped) for the separation of biomolecules.

The SiliaBond^® C18 17% BDS is the most efficient deactivated C18 reversed-phase. This versatile support is the best choice for your applications in reversed-phase chromatography. This chromatographic phase has been compared with different competitors and presents a better separation for basic compounds.

The homogeneous coverage of the polymeric C18 ensures great separation for hydrophobic compounds with lot-to-lot high reproducibility and inhibits the non-specific interaction with residual silanols. The SiliaBond Polymeric C18 (17%) is the traditional matrix for reversed-phase chromatography. Considered as the least selective phase since it interacts with wide range of organics and biological molecules.

This non-endcapped version of the SiliaBond^® C18 17% BDS, presents a perfect monolayer of dimethyloctadecylsilane and silanol functions.  The hydrophilic/hydrophobic balance is permitting to use a mobile phase with a higher concentration of water and ion pairing conditions for separation of biomolecules.

SiliaBond^® C18 11% is used as a reversed-phase chromatographic matrix when large hydrophobic molecules are too strongly retained on SiliaBond C18 with higher carbon content.

SiliaBond^® C8 (or C8) is a reversed-phase matrix with a moderate degree of hydrophobicity that works well for separating a wide range of compounds. It can be used instead of C18 when shorter retention times are desired.

SiliaBond^® C4 (or C4) provides less retention towards non-polar compounds than C18 and C8, and is useful in ion-pairing chromatography or to separate large biomolecules.  It works best for molecules with a large hydrophilic region or in case where the hydrophobic region is buried within the structure.

Chromatography with silver nitrate is a well known and established methodology for the separation of non polar compounds with similar polarities. Generally, with a mixture of unsaturated compounds such as alkenes, lipids, steroids, terpenes, etc, standard separation procedures lack in efficiency. However, by using SiliaBond^® Silver Nitrate for your column chromatography along with SiliaPlate^™ Ag for your TLC, you will have the necessary tools to circumvent the problem.

SiliaBond^® C1 (or C1) has the lowest degree of hydrophobicity of all reversed stationary phases, useful in the separation of large biomolecules that have extensive hydrophobic regions.

SiliaBond^® Phenyl (Si-PHE) is a sorbent of medium polarity used in reversed-phase chromatography. It has similar retention than C8 but with different selectivity especially for molecules containing aromatics and fatty acids.

SiliaBond Diol may also be used as polar sorbent in normal phase and aqueous size exclustion chromatography. Like bare silica, SiliaBond Diol has the ability to form hydrogen bonds and the capacity to separate structural isomers. Since most of its surface is covered with organic functions, the SiliaBond Diol absorbs less water, which leads to a more reproducible activity. It is also the sorbent of choice when working in normal phase in the presence of water.

SiliaBond^® Cyano (Si-CN) can be used both in normal and reversed-phase chromatography as its polarity marks the separation between the polar and non-polar phases. SiliaBond Cyano is the least retentive polar sorbent in normal phase chromatography and the least retentive of the non-polar sorbents in reversed-phase chromatography.

SiliaBond^® Dimethylamine is a silica bound tertiary amine base that can be used in most applications requiring a tertiary amine, particularly as a HCl sponge. Silica bound ammonium salt by-products are easily separated by filtration. This dimethylamine immobilized on silica gel can be used as a base catalyst in Michael or Knoevenagel reactions.

Supported sulfonic acids such as SiliaBond^® Propylsulfonic Acid (SiliaBond SCX-2) are in a class of strong acids widely used in different fields of synthetic organic chemistry. Their applications are well known and are used in a large number of settings going from drug discovery laboratories up to manufacturing processes. Among these applications, we denote their uses as acid catalysts, stationary phases for ion chromatography and basic impurity scavengers. Meanwhile, the most common use is probably as a strong cation exchanger (SCX) for the amine “Catch and Release” purification technique in SPE cartridges.

SiliaBond^® Cyclohexyl (Si-CYH) is a sorbent of medium polarity used in reversed-phase chromatography.  It has a different selectivity than the alkyl sorbents (C18, C8, C4, …) and phenyl, and may be used when these fail to provide the desired selectivity.

SiliaBond^® Fluorochrom (Si-FCM) is a fluorinated sorbent particularly useful for the separation of fluorine containing molecules from non-fluorous ones. The applications of these types of sorbent are not limited to fluorous compounds but may also be used in chromatographic separation of non-fluorinated molecules, just like a regular reversed-phase would do, but with different selectivity. SiliaBond Fluorochrom presents the highest level of fluorine available and has a proprietary structure.

SiliaBond^® TBA Chloride (Si-TBACl) may be used in the same way as SiliaBond TMA Chloride. Si-TBACl is more sterically indered, which offers a different selectivity than other anion exchangers.

SiliaBond^® TMA Chloride (SiliaBond SAX, Si-TMACl) is mainly used as strong anion exchanger (SAX) in ion chromatography and ion exchange SPE. The function bears a positive charge across the whole pH range as well as in organic solvents.

Strong anion exchangers (SAX) have been widely used in both chromatography and ion exchange SPE to selectively bind acidic drugs and/or analytes. In particular, weakly acidic compounds can be effectively extracted as those types of sorbents retain a permanent positive charge across the pH range. Most commercially available silica-based SAX sorbents are produced with a high selectivity chloride counter ion which reduced retention of acidic drugs when compared with lower selectivity counter ions such as acetate.

SiliaBond^® TMA Chloride (SiliaBond SAX, Si-TMACl) is mainly used as strong anion exchanger (SAX) in ion chromatography and ion exchange SPE. The function bears a positive charge across the whole pH range as well as in organic solvents.

SiliaBond^® Pentafluorophenyl (Si-PFP) is a sorbent primarily used in the separation of molecules bearing fluorine atoms but may also be used in the separation of non-fluorous compounds such as Taxol^® and its derivatives. Because of its phenyl ring, Si-PFP has a higher selectivity for aromatics containing molecules compared to the other fluorinated sorbents.

SiliaBond^® Carboxylic Acid (Si-CAA) can be used as a scavenger for amines or carbonates, and for the quench of alkoxides and organometallic reagents. SiliaBond Carboxylic Acid is primarily used as a weak cation exchanger (WCX) in solid phase extraction (SPE) and in HPLC.
