ACE C18-AR: a C18 phase with unique selectivity

The Advantages of ACE C18-AR:

  • Provides alternate selectivity to “standard” C18 columns – additionally recommended for compounds with aromatic functionality.
  • Ultra inert, ultra high purity silica, for excellent peak shape and reproducibility
  • Compatible with highly aqueous mobile phases to enable the retention and separation of polar compounds
  • Exceptional bonded phase stability for elevated temperature applications
  • Ultra low bleed phase ensures UV and LC/MS compatibility
  • Available in high throughput column dimensions

* For optimum column lifetime, a pH range of 2-8 is recommnded.

To increase column lifetime at high pH, organic buffers, low buffer concentrations, high % organic solvent & low temperatures must be considered.
