Additional Info:
40031-P30-150 Cogent UDA™ (weak cation exchange, WCX) Preparative HPLC Column is built on Cogent TYPE‑C™ silica (silica hydride platform), delivering a uniquely powerful mixed‑mode separation mechanism that combines:
Reversed phase (hydrophobic interactions)
Weak cation exchange (active at pH ≥ 6)
HILIC (polar interaction capability)
The UDA™ ligand (Undecanoic Acid) features an 11‑carbon hydrophobic chain with a terminal carboxylic acid group, enabling selective retention of polar, basic, and ionizable analytes.
This multi‑mode capability offers a significant advantage in large‑scale purification of complex matrices, where traditional preparative C18 or ion exchange columns may not provide sufficient selectivity.
The TYPE‑C silica hydride base delivers important performance advantages:
Faster equilibration between preparative runs
Reduced sensitivity to mobile phase moisture
Extremely robust column lifetimes under repeated use
Minimal salt required in HILIC mode (cleaner fractions and easier downstream processing)
150 mm Length – Enhanced Resolution for Preparative Workflows
The 150 mm length provides improved resolving power for more challenging separations at scale.
Higher resolution than 50 mm and 100 mm preparative formats
Better separation of closely related or co‑eluting compounds
Increased peak capacity for complex mixtures
✅ Recommended for preparative purification requiring improved resolution and higher purity targets
Flow Rate & System Requirements (30 mm ID, 4 µm)
⚠️ Requires preparative or process‑scale HPLC system capability
Typical flow rate range: ~25 – 60 mL/min
Moderate backpressure for 30 mm ID and 150 mm length
Designed for high‑flow, large‑volume purification workflows
Compatible with large‑scale fraction collection systems
✅ Important: A specialized preparative or process‑scale HPLC system is required for columns of this size
✅ Best Practice: Use proper sample preparation and a matched guard column to protect the column and maintain long‑term performance
