SeQuant® ZIC®-HILIC 100Å (3.5 µm) HPLC Columns

General description
SeQuant® ZIC®-HILIC Columns are designed to retain and separate all types of polar and hydrophilic compounds and for robust chromatography with high selectivity and reproducibility.
The silica-based ZIC®-HILIC sorbent has a bonded stationary phase consisting of a highly polar, permanent zwitterion. Separation selectivity is favored by the 1:1 zwitterion charge balance, which makes the ZIC®-HILIC Column overall neutral, with weak, but important, ionic interactions. Tuning of the selectivity on the ZIC®-HILIC Column during method development is facilitated by the pH-inpendent permanent zwitterion, ensuring that only the analytes (and not the column) are affected during eluent optimization.
The Pore size of 100 Å makes this column perfectly suitable for the separation of small polar molecules under HILIC conditions.
The column dimension of 150 mm length x 4.6 mm ID is best suitable for the separation of polar compounds using a standard HPLC Instrument.
Thanks to their favorable retention and robust performance, SeQuant® HILIC columns have become extremely popular in numerous laboratories around the world. For example, US FDA (United States Food and Drug Administration) has recommended SeQuant® ZIC®-HILIC for analysis of melamine and related substances. SeQuant® HILIC columns excel in stability and low bleed. These features make them particularly suitable for LC-MS applications where high background can lead to signal suppression and interference with quantitative measurements while also increasing instrument wear. Their high stability makes these high-performance HILIC columns also attractive for traditional HPLC applications.
