XBridge BEH Shield RP18 Column, 130Å, 5 µm, 2.1 mm X 150 mm, 1/pk
Method development via HPLC requires incredible particle stability and performance, and the XBridge BEH Shield RP18 Column is here to provide that stability, power and so much more. This HPLC column offers a wide and usable pH range to accommodate varying analytes, plus it comes equipped with MaxPeak High-Performance Surface tech that prevents unwanted analyte-surface interactions from occurring. And once you see how well this column handles phenolic compounds, you’re sure to be won over. Add the XBridge BEH Shield RP18 Column to your lab’s toolkit now and change the way you perform method development for the better.
How can the XBridge BEH Shield RP18 Column achieve such great selectivity and performance?
First, we have the Ethylene-Bridged Hybrid (BEH) base particle to thank for the increased stability despite demanding conditions. Second, the embedded carbamate group in the bonded phase ligand provides the alternate selectivity. And finally, the RP18 chemistry complements C18 and C8 phases, making this a terrific tool for scientists who want their column to function similarly to those with C18 or C8 base chemistries.
At the heart of the XBridge BEH Shield RP18 Column is the Ethylene-Bridged Hybrid (BEH) base particle. This chromatographic particle is incredibly stable, which is why it was chosen for this column that has to be subjected to incredible conditions. The BEH particle is also created from two high-purity monomers, which helps to create the highly stable and pH-resistant environment needed for method development. What’s more, the BEH particle even makes method transfer for HPLC to UHPLC or UPLC systems easy.
After using the XBridge BEH Shield RP18 Column time and time again, it’s important to ensure that the column itself is still performing as it should be. As long as proper column cleaning and regeneration procedures are followed, most of the concerns around column performance can be put to rest. But to be completely sure that not contaminants are harming the inner lining of this HPLC column, we recommend adding the XBridge BEH Shield RP18 VanGuard Cartridge to your workflow. This guard cartridge helps to extend overall column lifetime and does so without adding any more unnecessary steps to your assays.
Once you’re done adding the XBridge BEH Shield RP18 Column to your cart, make sure to explore our vast selection of products and resources designed to help you be successful in the lab. We have everything from lab informatics and full LC-MS systems to classic quality control reference materials and chromatography consumables.
