Ascentis^® Express 160 Å C30 (2.7 μm) HPLC Columns

Ascentis^® Express 160 Å C30 is a high-speed, high-performance liquid chromatography column based on the wider-pore 160 Å Fused-Core^® particle design to provide adequate spacing for the long-chain C30 ligands. The particle provides a thin porous shell of high-purity silica surrounding a solid silica core. This particle design exhibits very high column efficiency due to the shallow diffusion paths in the 0.5 μm thick porous shell and the small overall particle size of 2.7 μm. The endcapped triacontylsilane stationary phase of the C30 provides a stable, reversed-phase packing that can be used for hydrophobic, long-chain, structural isomers such as vitamins and lipids.

The target analytes include hydrophobic analytes, lipids, carotenoids, and fat soluable vitamins (A, D, E, K).
