Catalog Number - 67585-10P-2

Cogent IEX SAX is a strong anion exchange (SAX) HPLC stationary phase manufactured using high-purity silica and quaternary amine functional groups that maintain a permanent positive charge across a wide pH range. This strong anion exchange mechanism provides reliable retention and separation of negatively charged analytes, making the column suitable for ion exchange chromatography methods involving inorganic anions, organic acids, biomolecules, and other ionic compounds. The stationary phase is an excellent alternative for USP L9 methods and applications requiring robust anion exchange selectivity.

67585-10P-2 is a 100 mm x 2.1 mm ID narrow-bore analytical column packed with 5 µm SAX particles with a 100 Å pore size. The 100 mm length provides an excellent balance between chromatographic resolution and analysis time, while the 2.1 mm ID format minimizes solvent consumption and is well suited for LC-MS compatible ion exchange workflows where low flow rates are desired. The 5 µm particle size delivers improved efficiency, sharper peak shapes, and higher plate counts than larger particle packings. Typical operating flow rates are approximately 0.2–0.3 mL/min and require an HPLC or LC-MS system capable of reliable low-flow operation with low-volume plumbing and flow cells.

This USP L9 column is particularly useful for the separation and purification of negatively charged compounds, including organic acids, inorganic anions, nucleotides, and other ionic species. The combination of strong anion exchange functionality, narrow-bore design, and high-efficiency 5 µm particles makes it ideal for high-sensitivity analytical methods, method development, and demanding ion exchange applications requiring enhanced chromatographic performance.
