XSelect HSS C18 Column, 100Å, 5 µm, 4.6 mm X 150 mm, 1/pk
To get superior peak shape for basic compounds, increased retention (vs. XBridge C18 columns), and exceptional column lifetimes at low pH, opt for the general-purpose C18 bonded phase XSelect HSS C18 Column. The selectivity and retention observed with lab equipment resembles that of most modern, fully end-capped, high-coverage, silica-based C18 columns. In addition to these attributes, the XSelect HSS C18 Column exhibits low column bleed, excellent batch-to-batch reproducibility, ultra-efficiencies, and seamless transferability between column formats. This enables you to take advantage of the versatility offered by the XSelect HSS C18 Column that meets all your analytical needs.
The XSelect HSS C18 Column is well suited for separations with low pH that contain complex mixtures of basic and non-basic compounds. The High Strength Silica (HSS) technology that is present in the lab equipment has been developed especially to offer chromatography-specific advantages such as increased polar compound retention and different selectivity. Further, the HSS particle offers the necessary mechanical strength for tolerating UPLC pressures. This is why, if you compare the XSelect HSS C18 Column to the most modern, high coverage, fully end-capped C18 columns, you get alternative analyte selectivity. It is also fully scalable and transferable to UPLC separations.
Higher resolution separations are required for complex samples so that sample constituents can be isolated and quantified. Using the XSelect HSS C18 Column, you leverage the combined efficiency and selectivity that enables you to enhance the resolution of very complex samples. In addition to this, you can rely on the XSelect HSS C18 Column to deliver enhanced selectivity for acidic, alkaline, and neutral compounds, as well as to provide enhanced retention for basic polar compounds using low-pH mobile phases.
Waters recommends that to ensure that your analytical XSelect HSS C18 Column lasts a long time and continues to deliver the same exceptional performance throughout its lifetime, you invest in the XSelect HSS C18 VanGuard Cartridge, 100Å, 5 µm, 3.9 mm X 5 mm, 3/pk. The cartridge is a single unit that attaches to the column and prevents any chemical or particulate material from entering the mobile stream.
