SiliaChrom®- SB HPLC Columns
The SiliaChrom SB C8 and C18 are specially designed for the separation of polar and mid-polar compounds from low to medium pH. A class of columns offering excellent performance for LC-MS applications. More Information
The surface of SiliaChrom SB C8 and C18 are treated with an organic form of silicon to increase the number of silanol groups on the surface. After this, the surface is bonded with an octadecylsilane with two different fonctions. One of them is a protecting group that shields the area under it and protects the surface from an acid attack from the mobile phase.

Main Characteristics
- Extremely low pH Limits (0,5-7,5)
- Extremely low bleed for LC-MS applications under acidic conditions
- Compatible with mobile phases ranging 100% aqueous to 100% organic
- Non-endcapped

SiliaChrom® Preparative HPLC Columns SB C18
SiliaChrom® SB C18 has the particularity that the silane carries two different functions:
• The C18 Hydrophobic function
• Transversal hindered isopropyl groups which protect the surface from an acidic attack.
This chemistry guarantees the stability of this reverse phase in very low pH (up to 0.8)
-
SiliaChrom® Semi-Preparative HPLC Columns SB C8-300
SiliaChrom® C8 reverse phase functionalization is completely identical to the SB C8 equivalent. This reverse phase is grafted on a 300 Å pore size spherical silica to separate or purify larger molecules.
