SunFire C18 Column, 100Å, 3.5 µm, 3 mm X 50 mm, 1/pk
The SunFire C18 Column is useful for developing general-purpose methods at low pH. The SunFire C18 Column's C18 ligand is extremely retentive, particularly for basic chemicals, making the laboratory equipment ideal for purification and impurity profile studies. With the SunFire C18 Column, you receive the finest in particle and bonding knowledge for the best chromatographic performance in the industry.
The SunFire C18 Column is known for its high resolution, speed, and low backpressure. It also has features like outstanding sensitivity, large peak capacity, and ultra-low bleed, all of which work together to give you sharp peaks. The SunFire C18 Column can be used in a variety of mass spectrometry applications with ease; the SunFire C18 Column's unique characteristics make it essential for any lab.
The SunFire C18 Column's exceptional low pH stability extends column lifetime compared to most typical silica-based HPLC columns. Furthermore, adding an analytical column to your lab provides you with dependable technology that is both efficient and sensitive. These characteristics are obtained by the SunFire C18 Column's proprietary, cutting-edge silica synthesis, bonding, end-capping, and packing technologies.
The sorbent within the SunFire C18 Column, combined with revolutionary bonding and end-capping technology, produces superior peak shape performance. At low and intermediate pH ranges, the lab equipment helps generate symmetrical peaks for improved resolution and quantitation of acidic, neutral, and basic compounds. The SunFire C18 Column has an operating range of 2 - 8 pH, with a maximum pressure rating of 6000 psi (or 415 Bar). The Column supports a particle size of 3.5 µm, Pore size of 100 Å, carbon load of 16 %, along with a surface area of 340.

Why Is It Critical To Get High Resolution In Chromatography?
Optimizing separations in chromatography can be achieved by leveraging resolution, which relies on peak width and retention time as key elements of the process. Resolution serves as a measure of the separation's quality, with higher values indicating better distinguishability and increased accuracy of results. By carefully controlling peak width and retention time, chromatographers can enhance resolution and obtain more precise and reliable analytical outcomes.
