Catalog Number - 68334-15P-2

Cogent RP Cyano™ is a versatile reversed-phase HPLC stationary phase designed for the separation of polar and neutral compounds. Manufactured using a three-carbon ligand with a terminal cyano (CN) functional group bonded to ultra-high purity silica, this stationary phase provides selectivity distinct from traditional C18, C8, and phenyl phases. As a USP L10 equivalent phase, it is widely used for method replacement, method development, and applications requiring reduced hydrophobic retention, faster equilibration, and alternative selectivity.

68334-15P-2 is an HPLC column packed with 3 µm RP Cyano™ particles featuring a 100 Å pore size in a 2.1 mm ID x 150 mm format. This narrow-bore configuration combines maximum chromatographic resolution with reduced solvent consumption and excellent compatibility with LC-MS instrumentation. The 150 mm length provides significantly greater peak capacity and resolving power than shorter column formats, while the 3 µm particles provide greater efficiency and sharper peaks than comparable 5 µm columns. Typical operating flow rates are approximately 0.2–0.3 mL/min. Standard HPLC systems used with 2.1 mm ID columns must be capable of precise and reproducible low-flow operation.

Often selected for polar and neutral compounds in reversed-phase HPLC and LC-MS methods, this Cyano phase typically provides shorter retention times and faster equilibration than non-modified silica columns. The combined benefits of USP L10 selectivity, high efficiency, and reduced solvent consumption make this column an excellent choice for demanding pharmaceutical, analytical, and LC-MS applications.
