Symmetry Shield RP8 Column, 100Å, 5 µm, 3 mm X 150 mm, 1/pk
The Symmetry Shield RP8 Column is ideal for very aqueous mobile phases, especially when low organic mobile phase conditions are required. The embedded polar group in the lab equipment inhibits pore dewetting, ensuring that your analyte is retained and eliminating the need for a lengthy re-wetting and column re-equilibration process. These reversed-phase columns contain Waters' patented embedded polar group technology that "shields" the silica's residual silanol surface from highly basic analytes. The reduced silanol activity for the SymmetryShield RP8 column significantly improves peak shape and resolution.
Achieve great reproducibility by employing the Symmetry Shield RP8 Column's unique characteristic of narrow specification ranges since the lab equipment provides the industry's tightest ligand surface coverage (ligand density). This ensures that resolution shifts are low, resulting in more consistent results from batch to batch and column to column.
Because the Symmetry Shield RP8 Column has optimum performance and a combination of two key variables that influence the column's lifetime, hydrolytic stability of the packing material and mechanical stability of the packed bed, it will last you a long time and save you money on lab equipment.
Due to the lower silanol activity than the conventional columns, the Symmetry Shield RP8 Column exhibits less retention for basic compounds, making it an excellent method development tool. Additionally, you get superior peak shape across the pH range with the Symmetry Shield RP8 Column, as it has high bonding density and minimal residual silanol activity of packing materials. This means that you can choose to work at neutral or low pH to optimize your method without compromising the peak shape. The analytical column will help you in developing new methods faster and improve the laboratory's productivity by delivering lower levels of detection and quantitation.
