If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

Ascentis® Express C18 is the first choice when starting a new separation method.
Derivatization of Aliphatic Amines - Results from the Supelco Ascentis Express column show higher peak resolution, and improved peak shapes than typical chromatograms.
Compendial methods from the USP (United States Pharmacopeia) are widely used in pharmaceutical drug product and raw materials testing. However, not all methods in the USP use modern technologies. In chromatographic methods, it is not uncommon that older brands of columns are specified. Therefore, the USP methods are under continuous revision to improve existing procedures or to allow the user to obtain better results.

How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?
1 answer-
Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

What are the recommended long-term storage conditions for the Ascentis® Express C18, 2.7 μm HPLC Column?
1 answer-
For long-term storage of silica-based, reversed-phase columns like the Ascentis® Express C18, 2.7 μm HPLC Column, it is recommended to store them in 100% acetonitrile. For shorter periods of storage (up to 3 or 4 days), it is generally safe to store the column in most common mobile phases. However, when using buffers, it is advised to protect both the column and the HPLC equipment by flushing the column with the mobile phase that does not contain the buffer. This can be accomplished by flushing the column with a mixture of the mobile phase without the buffer (e.g., when using 60/40 ACN/buffer, flush the column with 60/40 ACN/H2O). This flushing step helps eliminate any risk of corrosion from salts and ensures quick re-equilibration of the column with the original mobile phase. Additionally, before storing the column, it is important to tightly seal the end-fittings with the provided end plugs to prevent the packing material from drying out.

What is the part number for Phenomenex Kinetex C18 column with dimensions of 150mm (15cm) x 4.6mm ID x 2.6μm particle size?
1 answer-
Unfortunately, we do not provide the Kinetex C18 column from Phenomenex. However, we offer our own alternative with similar characteristics, the Ascentis Express C18 column with a particle size of 2.7μm. The specific part number for this column is 538229-U. Please note that the minimal difference of 1μm in particle size should not significantly impact its performance.

What flow rate should I use with Ascentis® Express HPLC Columns?
1 answer-
Based on the minimum in the van Deemter curves, higher flows than 5um particle columns are required in order to maximize Ascentis Express column efficiency. The suggested starting point for flow rate for Ascentis Express columns: 1.6 mL/min for 4.6 mm ID; 0.8 mL/min for 3.0 mm ID; and 0.4mL/min for 2.1 mm ID.

Is there anything special I need to do to my HPLC system to use Ascentis Express?
1 answer-
Nothing special is required to use Ascentis Express HPLC columns. To obtain the full benefits of Ascentis Express, one should minimize dispersion in the HPLC system (tubing, detector flow cell) as well as confirm the detector response system is set at a fast level. For more information, request Guidelines for Optimizing Systems for Ascentis Express Columns (T407102).
