Catalog Number - 82360-15P-4

Cogent NP Diol™ HPLC Columns are designed for the separation of hydrophilic and polar compounds using Normal Phase and HILIC chromatography modes. Manufactured using high-purity 100Å silica bonded with a short hydrocarbon ligand containing a terminal diol functional group, this stationary phase is not end capped and provides versatile selectivity for compounds that may be difficult to retain using conventional reversed-phase chromatography. NP Diol™ is widely used as an alternative for USP L20 methods and for developing robust analytical methods requiring enhanced retention of polar analytes.

82360-15P-4 is packed with 3 µm NP Diol™ particles in a 4.0 mm ID x 150 mm analytical format. The 150 mm column length provides enhanced resolution and peak capacity compared to shorter formats, making it ideal for demanding analytical separations. The 3 µm particle size delivers higher efficiency and sharper peak shapes than comparable 5 µm columns, although increased operating pressure should be expected. The 4.0 mm internal diameter provides a specialized analytical format for methods requiring this specific column geometry.

The NP Diol™ stationary phase is commonly selected for hydrophilic and polar compounds analyzed by HILIC and Normal Phase chromatography. It is frequently used as a replacement for unmodified silica columns because it offers improved robustness and broader solvent compatibility while maintaining useful selectivity for polar analytes. The additional column length increases resolving power for complex samples and challenging separations while maintaining reliable and reproducible chromatographic performance.
