The Luna SCX is a high performance silica phase with a benzene sulfonic acid bonded phase used for Strong Cation Exchange (SCX) chromatography.
Key Features of the SCX Column:
- Extensive line of rugged particle sizes.
- Easy method scalability from HPLC to preparative and bulk purification LC
- Ultra-pure, metal-free silica (99.99% purity)
Phenomenex: Luna SCX HPLC Column
- Carbon Load: 0.55 % Sulfur Load, null %
- Surface Area (m²/g): 400
- Particle Size: 5, 10
- Recommended Use: Strong cation exchange for positively charged compounds
Long Column Lifetimes and Excellent Performance
Ultra-pure, metal-free silica (99.99% purity) is the backbone of all Luna material. The resulting high quality particles have a surface smoothness, pore structure, and pore consistency to ensure a more uniform particle shape and greater reproducibility.
Develop Robust Methods
Luna SCX columns provide excellent resolution and peak shape of basic‚ cationic compounds. Luna SCX columns contain a benzene sulfonic acid ligand providing ion-exchange‚ reversed phase‚ and aromatic interactions.
