Comparison of Diamond Hydride to C18 HPLC Column

Prasugrel has a tertiary Amine and therefore tails in many Reversed Phase methods and conventional HPLC columns. Figure A shows how a sharp and symmetrical peak can be easily obtained with the Cogent Diamond Hydride Column using an MS-compatible Mobile Phase.

Figure B shows the peak that was obtained using a Reversed Phase gradient (30–60%B over 5 minutes) using the same Mobile Phase solvents and a Type B silica based C18 Column. Here the effects of residual silanols on the Type B silica based column lead to peak tailing.
