Unique Selectivity on a Cogent Amide Stationary Phase

The Cogent Amide column offers unique selectivity that may not be readily attainable with other phases. Two test solutes shown in this application note (Pyrilamine and 4-Amino-3-Chloropyridine) were baseline separated on the Cogent Amide column (Figure A), but  they co-eluted with no resolution on a different Cogent column using otherwise equivalent method conditions (Cogent Diamond Hydride™, Figure B). The presence of the Amide ligand provides additional selectivity that can make a significant difference in resolving closely- eluting compounds such as these.

Note: Amine-containing compounds such as Pyrilamine and 4-Amino-3-Chloropyridine can be difficult to analyze using conventional silica- based stationary phases. These columns have residual silanol groups on the surface that can interact electrostatically with Amines, causing peak tailing. Chromatographers use a number of strategies to avoid these issues, such as use of ion pair agents or endcapping. However, Cogent TYPE-C Silica phases are virtually free of silanols, and therefore good peak shapes can be obtained without these workaround method strategies.
