Separate polar compounds with improved speed and resolution using Thermo Scientific™ Accucore™ aQ C18 Polar Endcapped LC columns. Rugged 2.6μm solid-core particles enable fast, high-efficiency separations at low backpressures.
The polar endcapped C18 stationary phase provides optimal retention of polar analytes and is fully compatible with 100% aqueous mobile phases. Robust bonding technology and automated packing procedures ensure excellent reproducibility and long column lifetimes.
Alternative Selectivity
- Polar endcapped C18 stationary phase provides optimum retention of polar analytes
- Accucore aQ Columns are compatible with highly aqueous mobile phases.
- Polar encapping allows use in 100% aqueous mobile phases without loss of performance or stability.
Fast Separations
- 2.6μm core-enhanced technology particles enable operation at high flow rates without generating excessive backpressures.
Excellent Peak Shapes for Enhanced Resolution and Sensitivity
- Solid-core 2.6μm particles and narrow particle size distribution reduce band broadening and improve separation efficiencies.
- High surface coverage of silica minimizes secondary interactions and peak tailing.
Low Backpressures
- Solid-core 2.6μm particles for less backpressure compared to UHPLC sub-2μm particles
- Compatible with conventional HPLC instrumentation and UHPLC platforms
Excellent Reproducibility and Robustness
- Advanced bonding technology
- Automated packing process
