Ultisil XB-C18 is the most commonly used column in the market. It can substitute Waters Symmetry C18, Agilent Zorbax XDB C18, Phenomenex Luna C18, Supelcosil LC-18-DB, YMC ODS-AM, Alltima C18, GL, Inertsil ODS-2 etc. XB-C18 has high theoretical plates and peak capacity, so it’s suitable for analysis of complex samples.

Pairs well with

Ultisil Series HPLC Columns are based on ultra-pure ( purity > 99.999% ) spherical and totally porous silica, unique bonding chemistry and proprietary surface modification techniques, producing excellent peak shape, column efficiency and exceptional lot-to-lot reproducibility. Ultisil column is the best choice for method development, owing to complete bonding chemistries and stable performance.

Features

  • Ultra-pure spherical porous silica, purity > 99.999%
  • High efficiency: theoretical plate > 80000/m
  • Excellent peak symmetry: tailing factor=0.95~1.05
  • Exceptional lot-to-lot reproducibility

Trace Amount Metal Contents Test

A useful chromatographic test of trace amount of metal contents in the column is to compare the peak symmetry of one pair of positional isomers, 4,4’-dipyridyl and 2,2’-dipyridyl, and a neutral chelating reagent, 1,2-dihydroxylnaphthalene. 4,4’-dipyridyl, which cannot form chelating complex with metal, is used as a reference. 2,2’-dipyridyl and 1,2-dihydroxylnaphthalene, which are chelating reagents, are sensitive to trace amount metal in silica. When a C18 column based on type A silica or other so-called type B silica with higher metal content is used, the peaks of 2,2’-dipyridyl and 1,2-dihydroxylnaphthalene would tail or even totally disappear.
Ultisil XB-C18 provides good peak shapes in the separation of these three compounds under pH 7.6, which indicates Ultisil silica contains hardly any metals.
