YMC-Pack Diol-NP
A normal phase alternative to silica.
YMC-Pack Diol-NP is a versatile alternative to silica for normal phase separations and provides much better reproducibility when compared to bare silica material. It shows typical normal phase retention behavior when used with low-polarity mobile phases due to hydroxyl groups on the surface of the stationary phase acting as polar groups.
Hydrogen bonding with the Diol-NP layer is not as strong as with silanols on a bare silica surface. As a result, the bonded layer’s hydroxyl groups provide good selectivity without excessive retention. YMC-Pack Diol-NP can also be used in HILIC-mode with organic/water mobile phases.
Characteristics
- Improved peak shape versus bare silica
- Good selectivity without excessive retention
- High product recovery
- Excellent bonded-phase reproducibility
- Long column lifetime
- High loading with prep material
Applications
Typical applications include: pharmaceutical products, metabolites, phospholipid classes
