Chromolith® SemiPrep - Perfect scale-up from analytical to preparative LC
Optimum separation at flow rates exceeding 40 mL/min
Chromolith® SemiPrep 10 mm i.d. columns combine high separation speed with very high separation performance.
They are the ideal alternative to particulate columns with a 10 mm i.d. (and even 21.2 mm). The selectivity of Chromolith® RP-18 endcapped SemiPrep columns is comparable to common RP-18 endcapped reversed phase columns. It is an excellent tool to solve separation problems regarding non-polar basic and acidic compounds as well as peptides.
The Chromolith® SemiPrep columns have the same bimodal porous silica rod structure as the Chromolith® analytical columns with a 4.6 mm inner diameter. The macropores are 2 μm in diameter and the mesopores are 13 nm.
