CORTECS C18 Column, 90Å, 1.6 µm, 2.1 mm X 75 mm, 1/pk
The general-purpose, high-efficiency CORTECS C18 Columns allow balanced retention of acids, bases, and neutrals at low and mid-range pH. They are based on a solid-core particle. Utilizing solid-core particles, the CORTECS C18 Columns increase performance by reducing each of the three parts of the van Deemter equation. The C term is reduced because solid core particles increase heat transfer, resulting in lower radial temperature gradients, while the B term is reduced because solid core particles have lower particle porosity, which reduces axial diffusion. The A term is dropped because solid core particles pack more uniformly.
With a solid-core particle that holds acids, bases, and neutrals in a balanced manner at low and mid-range pH, CORTECS C18 Columns are all-purpose, high-efficiency columns. In addition to balancing bases, acids, and neutrals at low and mid-range pH levels and offering outstanding efficiency, resolution, and retention for complex analyte combinations, CORTECS C18 is a conventional C18 bonded phase. A solid-core particle in the all-purpose, high-efficiency CORTECS C18 Columns balances acids, bases, and neutrals at low and mid-range pH levels.
Due to the C18 ligand employed in the column, which offers the best retention and stability, CORTECS C18 Columns are favored by chromatographers worldwide. With the CORTECS C18 Column, you can handle even the trickiest samples and combinations while increasing throughput while maintaining resolution.

You should also look into XSelect HSS Cyano (CN) VanGuard Cartridge, 100Å, 3.5 µm, 2.1 mm X 5 mm, 3/pk; by eliminating particle pollution from the mobile phase stream, XSelect HSS CN VanGuard Cartridges are used to extend analytical column lifetime and performance. All 2.1 mm and 3.0 mm I.D. XSelect HSS CN analytical columns with 3.5 µm sorbent particles are protected by this cartridge.
What Operational Settings Are Recommended For The CORTECS C18 Column?
The CORTECS C18 Column operates best at pressures of 18000 psi, with a pH range of 2 to 8 and a maximum temperature of 45 degrees Celsius (or 1240 bar). It is possible to operate within the aforementioned constraints, but you should be aware that doing so could harm your column and significantly reduce its longevity and effectiveness.
