Amine Sorbent for the Separation of Polar Compounds

Due to the growing requirements for more specific and more efficient chromatographic sorbents, SiliCycle has developed a wide selection of chromatographic phases that can be prepared for bulk applications and packed in different sizes of Isco™, FlashMaster™ and Biotage™ compatible cartridges as well as SPE and 96 well plates formats.
Amine sorbent (Si-NH2) is a class of chromatographic functionality that has found its use in various types of applications such as the biological screening for drug of abuse and other basic compounds. Since Amine (NH2) is a weaker anion exchanger (WAX) than all of the commonly used tertiary amines (SAX), it can be used for purification of acidic compounds that would otherwise adsorb to the chromatographic sorbent during extraction. Alternatively, it has also been extensively used in reversed-phase chromatography for the separation of basic compounds that usually requires aminated mobile phase modifiers such as triethylamine (TEA) to prevent tailing or streaking of chromatographic peaks.

Below is the list of our various formats based on SiliaBond Amine:
-
SiliaBond Amine (WAX) nec (R52130B)
SiliaBond Amine (Si-NH2) is an effective scavenger of acid chlorides, sulfonyl chlorides, isocyanates and other electrophiles. Si-NH2 has been shown to be effective metal scavenger and catalyst for Knoevenagel reactions. SiliaBond Amine is also used in chromatography as normal phase sorbent. -

SiliaChrom Plus HPLC Columns, Amine, 3 µm, 100 Å (HPL-S52003E-A)
SiliaChrom Plus Amine columns are very popular for sugars analysis (carbohydrates, glycosides and oligosaccharides). They represent a good alternative for normal phase separation of compounds with acidic/basic properties. SiliaChrom Plus Amine columns can also be used in Ion Exchange Mode, for retention & release of very strong anions such as sulfonic acids. -
SiliaChrom Plus HPLC Columns, Amine (WAX), 5 µm, 100 Å (HPL-S52005E-A)
SiliaChrom Plus Amine columns are very popular for sugars analysis (carbohydrates, glycosides and oligosaccharides). They represent a good alternative for normal phase separation of compounds with acidic/basic properties. SiliaChrom Plus Amine columns can also be used in Ion Exchange Mode, for retention & release of very strong anions such as sulfonic acids. -

SiliaSep PREMIUM Flash Cartridges, Amine (WAX), spherical 25 µm (FLH-52095D-A)
The amine phase can be used either in normal phase for the purification of compounds with basic properties & for monosaccharides separation; or as a weak anion exchanger (pKa of 9.8). At pH 7.8 or below, the functional groups are positively charged. It facilitates the rapid release of very strong anions such as sulfonic acids that may be too strongly retained on SAX.
