Ascentis™

We have placed heavy emphasis on optimizing Ascentis phases with relation to the three terms of the resolution equation: efficiency, retention and selectivity. However, our strongest emphasis has been on the most powerful term, selectivity. Together, Ascentis bonded phases have a wide range of selectivities. It is likely that one or more Ascentis phase will accomplish any small molecule HPLC separation. Packed in micro- to preparative hardware dimensions, Ascentis products cover all HPLC application areas, including the most sensitive trace-level analyses.

The general features of the Ascentis family include:

• High purity, type B silica for inertness, reproducibility and stability
• Modern bonding processes that optimize bonded phase coverage and maximize stability, while minimizing bleed and unwanted secondary interactions
• Wide selection of bonded phase chemistries and bare silica
• Phases with enhanced polar compound retention Compatible with LC-MS and all of today’s sensitive instruments and methods
• Scalable selectivity from analytical to preparative
• High surface area silica for high preparative loading capacity
