Merck, 1.50442.0001, SeQuant™ ZIC-HILIC™ 3.5µm,100Å 150 x 2.1 mm

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 2.1 mm ID is the optimal choice for the separation of polar compounds using a UHPLC or optimized HPLC Instrument providing low dwell volumes.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.Learn more about the Supelco HPLC Column portfolio and Method development:Brochure: HPLC and UHPLC Column Selection Guide Brochure: A Practical Guide to HPLC - Method Development Guide
