CUSTOM ITEM: HPLC Column, Silica-C, 4um, 3.0mm ID x 150mm Length, 100A. Cogent TYPE-C Brand. 1 EA.
Additional Info:
The 40000‑15P‑3 Silica‑C™ HPLC Column is manufactured using Cogent TYPE‑C™ silica hydride technology, delivering distinct selectivity, rapid equilibration, and robust performance for HILIC and normal‑phase separations. Unlike conventional bonded‑silica phases, this unmodified silica hydride surface contains no end‑capping or organic ligands, resulting in stable retention behavior and improved method reproducibility—particularly beneficial in moisture‑sensitive normal‑phase workflows.
This column is produced as a custom, made‑to‑order item and is optimized for analytes requiring non‑aqueous or minimally aqueous mobile phases, where traditional silica columns may suffer from variability due to water adsorption.
Application Focus: Silica‑C™ for HILIC & Normal‑Phase Separations
Silica‑C™ stationary phases are selected for the analysis of compounds that are not soluble in water or require non‑polar solvent systems. The Silica‑C™ phase is particularly effective for:
Lipids
Peptides and proteins
Oligonucleotides
Other analytes requiring non‑polar solvents or HILIC conditions
The silica hydride surface supports reproducible retention and enhanced method stability compared to conventional silica phases.
Key Advantages of Silica‑C™ TYPE‑C™ Technology
Compared to traditional bonded‑silica columns, Silica‑C™ columns provide:
Faster equilibration between injections
No need to control moisture in mobile‑phase solvents
Robust column lifetime under demanding solvent systems
Distinct selectivity, especially advantageous in normal‑phase separations
These attributes make Silica‑C™ a dependable solution for consistent, non‑aqueous analytical workflows.
Why Choose the 3.0 mm × 150 mm Format
The 3.0 mm ID × 150 mm length configuration provides high resolving power with improved solvent efficiency, offering performance comparable to traditional 4.6 mm ID columns while significantly reducing mobile‑phase consumption:
Strong resolution and peak capacity for complex mixtures
Comparable run times to 4.6 mm analytical columns
Reduced solvent usage and operating costs
Lower flow rates and backpressure, improving system compatibility
This format is commonly selected for LC‑MS methods requiring expanded resolution without the solvent penalties of larger‑diameter columns.
Particle Size and Performance
The 4 µm particle size delivers reliable efficiency with manageable backpressure, maintaining consistent peak shape and reproducibility on standard analytical HPLC systems while supporting high‑resolution separations.
System Requirements and Flow Rates
Typical flow range (3.0 mm ID): ~0.4–0.6 mL/min
System capability: Compatible with standard analytical HPLC systems
Note: No specialized low‑flow or UHPLC‑only equipment is required
Flow‑rate optimization should consider mobile‑phase viscosity, column temperature, and system pressure limits.
