Symmetry Shield RP18 Column, 100Å, 5 µm, 3 mm X 250 mm, 1/pk
The Symmetry Shield RP18 Column provides improved peak form over a wide pH range. Because of its high bonding density and low residual silanol activity of packing materials, the analytical column can handle a wide pH range. This means you can optimize your technique by working at neutral or low pH without sacrificing the peak shape. By giving lower levels of detection and quantitation, the lab equipment will also assist you in developing new techniques faster and increasing laboratory productivity. These reversed-phase columns contain Waters' patented embedded polar group technology that "shields" the silica' residual silanol surface from highly basic analytes. The reduced silanol activity for the SymmetryShield RP18 column significantly improves peak shape and resolution.
The Symmetry Shield RP18 Column is built to last and will help you cut the cost of lab equipment. This is because the Symmetry Shield RP18 Column provides optimal performance and a combination of two key aspects that influence the column's lifetime: the packing material's hydrolytic stability and the packed bed's mechanical stability.
Ultra-pure reagents are used in a cGMP, ISO 9001 certified facility, each batch of Symmetry Shield RP18 Column's packing material is chromatographically tested with acidic, basic, and neutral analytes, with results held within narrow specification ranges to ensure outstanding, repeatable performance. Explore our complete product range using our website and use it to shop for lab equipment as well.
With the Symmetry Shield RP18 Column, you can avail the use of the strength of tight specification ranges to achieve remarkable reproducibility. The lab equipment has the industry's smallest ligand surface coverage (ligand density). This assures minimum resolution shifts and, as a result, more repeatable outcomes from batch to batch and column to column.
Waters also offers lab equipment that helps to protect your analytical column from contaminants that hurt the column and impair your results, such as the Symmetry Shield RP18 VanGuard Cartridge, 100Å, 5 µm, 2.1 mm X 5 mm, 3/pk. The cartridge is made using the exact packing materials that are present in the column, making them ideally suited to work together.
What Is The Pressure That The Symmetry Shield RP18 Column Can Tolerate?
The Symmetry Shield RP18 Column listed here can easily sustain up to 6000 psi (415 Bar) pressure, given that the temperature and pH limits are also observed.
