Ordering Information for Ascentis Phenyl HPLC columns
Use
Phenyl phases are π-basic (electron donating) and are similar in overall retention to alkyl and EPG phases for easy column screening. The alternate selectivity of phenyl phases is often explained by the π-π interactions available through the phenyl ring. Compounds that appear to exhibit differential selectivity on the phenyl phase include:
- hydrophobic bases (TCAs, tetracyclines)
- moderate bases (anesthetics and narcotic analgesics)
- benzodiazepines
- some acidic compounds such as ACE inhibitors and quinoline antibiotics
- nucleosides (e.g. cytidine)
- nitro, azide and sulfonyl compounds
Notes
- Methanol can be a more selective mobile phase component than acetonitrile.
- Activate HILIC mode by using highly-organic (>90%) mobile phases.
* Under certain conditions, the Ascentis family can be operated in the extended pH range. For more details, see “Acid/Base Stability of Silica Based on C8, C18, and Amide HPLC Columns” (T406018 - 530Kb pdf)
