SiliaChrom®- HPLC Columns
SiliCycle manufactures a variety of HPLC columns for reversed and normal phases applications. The SiliaChrom series contain more than 20 different phases produced in our own laboratories, and we continue to develop additional unique and powerful HPLC columns. In fact, you can be completely assured of the quality, from raw material synthesis through packing, testing and customer applications.
SiliaChrom HPLC columns are made of highly pure spherical particles. One of the most remarkable properties of every SiliaChrom column is that all types of organic compounds (acidic, basic and neutral) will have optimal peak symmetry with excellent efficiency across the whole applicable pH range. Lot-to-lot reproducibility is ensured by a stable bonding and endcapping process. All columns are packed using a consistent slurry packing process to achieve uniform and stable bed for maximum column efficiency, long lifetime and column-to-column reproducibility.

SiliaChrom® Narrow Bore 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)
