General description
Purospher® STAR NH2, 5 µm HPLC
columns are widely used for carbohydrate analysis, with a typical mobile
phaseconsisting of acetonitrile and water. In terms of their polarity, these
columns lie between bare silica and reversed-phase silica. Hence, Purospher® STAR
NH2 can also be used as an ion-exchanger. In acidic solutions, the NH2-groups
are protonated (-NH3 +X-) and therefore display the characteristics of a weak
anion exchanger. Medium polarity Purospher® STAR NH2 columns
possess hydrophilic as well as hydrophobic properties, thus can be used under
both reversed-phase (HILIC) and normal-phase conditions. However, retention is
weaker than on silica or RP-supports. Purospher® STAR NH2
columns are based on ultra-pure fully porous silica particles (Type B).
Purospher® STAR NH2, 5 µm LiChroCART™ 250-4 is
a cartridge column which requires a manuCART™ cartridge column
holder part number 1.51486.0001.The
recommended guard column is Purospher® STAR NH2 (5 µm)
LiChroCART™ 4-4 part number 1.50267.0001.
LiChroCART™ cartridge columns mounted with a manuCART™ cartridge
column holder is hand-tight only and have therefore a maximum pressure
stability of 250 bar.The column dimension of 250 mm length x 4 mm I.D. is the
optimal choice for the HPLC separation of complex.Learn more about Purospher® STAR HPLC and UHPLC ColumnsLearn
