Porasil Silica Radial-Pak Column, 125Å, 55 – 105 µm, 8 mm x 100 mm, 1/pk

The Waters Porasil Silica Radial-Pak Column features a 20 µm silica packing material that delivers long column life, low backpressure, and optimal surface area, making it an exceptional choice for preparative-scale HPLC work. With its normal-phase separation mode and high silanol activity, this column is engineered for excellent retention and resolution of non-polar analytes.

The 125 Å pore size and 330 m²/g surface area enhance its ability to resolve a wide range of compounds. Its irregular particle shape and broad particle size distribution (55–105 µm) further support high-capacity loading, making it an ideal choice for semi-preparative and preparative workflows.

The column's robust silica substrate is chemically stable within a pH range of 2–8 and can withstand pressures up to 6000 psi (415 bar). Its non-endcapped design makes it particularly suited for applications requiring high silanol activity. The Radial-Pak format and 8 mm inner diameter ensure compatibility with most standard HPLC systems.

To complement this column, consider pairing it with the LCMS Certified Clear Glass 12 x 32 mm Screw Neck Vial, with Cap and Preslit PTFE/Silicone Septum, 2 mL Volume, ideal for secure sample collection and compatibility with sensitive detection methods.
