Reversed Phase Polar Retention Without the Headache
Luna Omega Polar C18 is a novel HPLC and UHPLC stationary phase capable of providing a unique selectivity within a wide elution window and increased retention for both polar and non polar analytes. The all purpose C18 ligand provides hydrophobic interactions while a polar modified particle surface provides enhanced polar retention and also aqueous stability. These attributes make the Luna Omega Polar C18an excellent choice for balanced retention of polar and hydrophobic compounds as well as to solely enhance retention of highly polar compounds.

Not Just Another C18…Built Different
Luna Omega Polar C18 is a uniquely modified C18 based chemistry that has been optimized to improve the performance of polar analyses. This new particle surface chemistry makes the Polar C18 applicable to all industries that utilize HPLC for mixtures of polar and non polar compounds.
Stable Retention & 100% Aqueous Stable
Traditional C18 phases are known to collapse under 100 % aqueous conditions, causing retention loss of compounds and a method development headaches. That is why an advanced proprietary bonding technology was used for the Luna Omega Polar C18 in order to ensure aqueous stability.
Increased Reversed Phase Polar Retention
With its polar modified surface, the Luna Omega Polar C18 offers UHPLC users enhanced separation power that can greatly improve resolution values for target compounds.
Stationary phase Luna Omega Polar C18 is provided in these column types: analytical, microbore, minibore, midbore and preparative
Luna Omega Polar C18 HPLC Axia™ Packed Preparative Columns are available with these parameters:
- Column length (mm): 150, 250
- Column ID (mm): 21.2; 30
- Particle size (µm): 5

Astounding Performance
The undeniably high efficiency levels found in each Luna Omega UHPLC column provide you with the potential of huge gains in method performance. While traditional silica and hybrid fully porous particles claim high performance, when compared to Luna Omega 1.6 μm, they drastically fall short and prevent UHPLC scientists from reaching their UHPLC potential.
Separation Muscle
Our industry leading bonding technologies in conjunction with high efficiency levels ensure excellent stationary phase coverage and improved separation power. Now, with Luna Omega 1.6 μm, you can turn difficult separations into resolution achievements.
Inert Foundation
Luna Omega UHPLC columns contain a unique silica modified using a proprietary, post-synthetic thermal treatment process to provide extraordinary mechanical strength and significantly greater inertness than traditional fully porous and hybrid materials. This greatly minimizes secondary interactions that negatively affect peak shape, allowing for greater method accuracy.
Consistent Results
Batch-to-batch and column-to-column, Luna® Omega media and columns are designed to be consistent and incredibly accurate tools for your analysis. Each batch and column are quality tested to ensure dependability and reproducibility.
