Reversed-phase HPLC columns have been widely used due to their superior resolution, high theoretical plate number, ease of use and good cost performance.
Octadecyl silica gel (C18, ODS) is the most commonly used by chromatographers. In reversed phase HPLC columns, hydrophobic interaction is the dominant separation mode. For some substances similar in hydrophobicity, recognition capability may be poor, resulting in insufficient separation.
The COSMOSIL PYE and NPE columns utilize various interactions based on electrons of the stationary phase. The PYE and NPE columns can be widely used for the separation of substances similar in structure.
CHARACTERISTICS
|
The COSMOSIL PYE column is a reversed phase column. Its stationary phase is planar pyrene or 2-(1-pyrenyl)ethyl groups bonded chemically to the silica gel. Utilizing |

SEPARATION OF PAHS
|
C18 columns have been commonly used for the separation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. However, their resolution for the separation of isomers is limited. Due to the electrostatic interaction between the sample (eg. benz[α]anthracene and chrysene) and the pyrene ring in the stationary phase, the COSMOSIL PYE packed column can achieve the separation of aromatic isomers.
