MilliporeSigma™ Supelco™ Discovery™ BIO Wide Pore C5 HPLC Column, 3 μm Particle Size

Description

• Discovery™ BIO Wide Pore C5 was designed for the efficient and reliable separation of proteins and peptides, especially hydrophobic peptides, by RP- HPLC
• Long-chain phases, like C8 or C18, are often too hydrophobic for proteins and can cause excessively long retention time or even irreversible binding to the column
• For this reason short-chain phases, typically C3 or C4, are often used for RP-HPLC of proteins
• However, these short-chain phases are susceptible to hydrolysis, resulting in short column lifetime, especially at low pH
• The Discovery™ BIO Wide Pore C5 gives elution order similar to a conventional C4, yet has enhanced pH stability for longer column lifetime
• Generally, higher efficiency separations are achievable on the Discovery™ BIO Wide Pore C5 because of the improvements we have made to the silica and bonded-phase chemistry.
