Preparative Columns (10 mm ID & above)
Preparative Columns for HPLC
Inner Diameter Range: 10 – 300 mm
YMC offers HPLC columns in a variety of sizes and hardware types to fill a wide range of chromatographic needs. Our standard preparative hardware range includes columns and guards with an inner diameter of 10 – 50 mm for most phases, with some available in 70 – 300 mm ID.
YMC-Actus SP spring-assisted axial compression columns as well as YMC glass columns provide additional sizes and hardware configurations. With our optional packing services, these products can also be delivered ready for use.
As always, if you have a specific need that you don’t see on our website, please contact our customer service team or your local YMC rep. Special order or custom options may be available.

YMC-Actus preparative columns were developed by applying the same technology used in Dynamic Axial Compression (DAC) columns. The column bed is compressed when attaching the inlet end assembly of the YMC-Actus hardware. This provides increased bed density (10% higher than that of conventional columns) and bed uniformity. Packed with YMC resins, Actus columns have been shown to maintain high stability under high flow rates and steep gradient conditions.
