Catalog Number - 82361-10P-3M

Cogent NP Silica™ Wide Pore HPLC Columns are designed for the separation of large hydrophilic and polar compounds using Normal Phase and HILIC chromatography modes. Manufactured from ultra-high purity, low metal content 300Å silica that is not chemically modified, this stationary phase provides the native silica selectivity required for challenging separations involving larger molecules. NP Silica™ Wide Pore is widely used as an alternative for USP L3 methods involving biomolecules and other high molecular weight compounds, as well as for new analytical method development.

82361-10P-3M is packed with 3 µm NP Silica™ Wide Pore particles in a 4.6 mm ID x 100 mm analytical format. The 100 mm column length provides an excellent balance of chromatographic resolution and analysis speed for routine analytical workflows. The 3 µm particle size delivers higher chromatographic efficiency and sharper peak shapes than comparable 5 µm columns, although increased operating backpressure should be expected. The 4.6 mm ID format is fully compatible with standard analytical HPLC systems and established analytical methods.

NP Silica™ Wide Pore is commonly used for large hydrophilic and polar compounds in both HILIC and Normal Phase chromatography. Because the stationary phase is completely unmodified, it provides the classic selectivity associated with bare silica while the 300Å pore structure improves accessibility for larger analytes. This format is particularly useful for proteins, peptides, biomolecules, and other compounds that may experience restricted pore access with conventional pore-size silica materials.
