Introduction
Purospher HPLC columns are based upon a high-purity, metal free silica for
excellent separations with good symmetry. The base material for Purospher highpurity HPLC columns is made from tetra-alkoxysilane. Due to the absence of metals
in the silica matrix and in combination with an excellent coverage of the silica
surface, this stationary phase enables tailing free chromatography of acidic, basic
and chelating compounds. This is of particular advantage for method development.
The newest addition to the Purospher family is Purospher STAR LP RP-18
endcapped. The packing material for Purospher STAR LP RP-18 endcapped has
been optimized on pressure which gives at least 25% less back pressure in
comparison with existing Purospher STAR RP-18 endcapped. This will give more
opportunity to develop method for formulated drugs.
The application guide will illustrate different applications with excellent separation
on formulated product like Tablet, Capsules, Injections etc.
