Catalog Number - 68508-P30-PG1-3

Cogent RP C8™ Wide Pore Preparative Guard Column Cartridges are designed to protect valuable preparative HPLC columns from particulates, strongly retained compounds, proteins, peptides, and other sample contaminants that can reduce column performance and shorten column life. Packed with the same RP C8™ Wide Pore stationary phase used in Cogent preparative columns, these guard cartridges help maintain method consistency while extending column service life. The stationary phase consists of an octyl (C8) bonded ligand attached to ultra-high purity silica and is fully double end capped to provide reproducible reversed-phase performance.

68508-P30-PG1-3 is a preparative guard column cartridge packed with 5 µm RP C8™ Wide Pore particles featuring a 300 Å pore size in a 30 mm ID x 10 mm format. Designed specifically to protect RP C8™ Wide Pore preparative columns, this cartridge captures particulates and contaminants before they reach the column bed. The 300 Å pore structure provides enhanced accessibility for proteins, peptides, biomolecules, and other large molecular weight compounds. Constructed from stainless steel tubing with stainless steel frits, it provides durability and reliable performance in large-scale purification and preparative chromatography applications.

Routine replacement of guard cartridges helps maintain column efficiency, preserve chromatographic performance, and reduce the cost of preparative column replacement. These cartridges are particularly beneficial for biomolecule purification workflows, fraction collection, process development, and production-scale separations where protecting the preparative column is essential.
