CORTECS T3 Column, 120Å, 2.7 µm, 4.6 mm X 50 mm, 3/pk
The polarity of specific analytes can create challenges for a liquid chromatographer, but those challenges can be overcome easily with the CORTECS T3 Column. Thanks to the T3 column chemistry and C18 surface concentration, you’re able to operate with 100% aqueous mobile phases with little concern for MS bleed or losses in signal intensity. But that’s not the only benefit to owning this T3 UPLC column. It can also provide you with a long column lifetime and terrific peak shape. This all adds up to an LC-MS product that you can rely on to perform incredibly time and again.
The unique particle morphology for the T3 column chemistry makes this column offer high efficiency and lower back pressure. Just compare it to fully porous particles of the same size and you’ll see that the CORTECS T3 Column is better suited for chromatographic separations with 100% aqueous mobile phases. And if you’re working with non-polar analytes, the CORTECS T3 Column can handle them with ease.
What else does the CORTECS T3 Column have to offer?
For one, it offers greater throughput and speed, which can result in increased business profitability. Waters scientists designed this UPLC column to be used for speed and retention; two facets incredibly important to the scientific community. Also, if you’re using low percentages of organic modifier, that’s not problem. The conventional C18 behavior of this column enables you to use as much or little organic modifier as you want.
To retain polar compounds, scientists everywhere prefer reversed-phase chromatographic conditions. That’s part of why we’ve designed the CORTECS T3 Column to work with reverse-phase chromatography while also being derived from C18 ligands. Reversed-phase retention can be affected negatively by hydrophobic collapse, but this T3 column reduces the risk of that collapse. The bonded alkyl functionality of this column will also help you operate with low-pH compounds.
