The analytes are separated based on their retention behavior on the stationary phase. More retentive species elute later from the stationary phase. The mobile phase concentration is adjusted to give the best chromatography. The analytes are typically soluble in non-polar solvents. Many normal phases are derived from silane bonding agents. Bear silica is also used in normal phase HPLC.
Adjustments in mobile phase concentration are made to give the best chromatography. Reliasil HPLC columns are designed for high efficiency high plate count and general utility. The proprietary silica gel manufacturing process yields a Gaussian particle size distribution, narrow pore-size distribution, and strong resistance to high pH.
Orosil HPLC columns are designed for the separation of polar, semi-polar, and nonpolar compounds at low to medium pH. Orosil Polar C18 Orosil Polar C18 columns are particularly advantageous for difficult separations involving polar and semi-polar compounds. Matrix C18 uses base-deactivated, ultra-high purity silica gel, densely bonded to produce an inert material ideally suited for the analysis of basic compounds.
The resulting hydrophobic surface is also stable over a wide pH range to allow for excellent method flexibility. Interspersed with hydrophilic end-capping group. Monitor is a top-quality phase, providing excellent stability and reproducibility, and minimal secondary interaction. Monitor is a perfect choice for reversed phase separations requiring thoroughly base-deactivated columns, and excels in challenging pharmaceutical and peptide separations. We developed Monitor expressly for the chromatography of difficult-to-separate samples.

It should be noted that the particle size quoted is the average value, which comes from a range of particle sizes, and the smaller the particle size distribution, the more efficient and robust the packing material. This gives an indication of the breadth of the particle size distribution with a value of 1. Smaller particles produce more highly efficient separations, or perhaps more usefully, equivalent separations using smaller packed beds at high eluent flow rates.
Both column back pressure is inversely proportional to the particle size, according to the following relationships;. Chromatographic efficiency is inversely proportional to particle size according to the following general relationship:. Where L is the column length and d P the particle diameter. Pore Size. Learn how high-capacity ENrich size exclusion columns provide reproducible, high-resolution separation of biomolecules at high flow rates.
Choose ENrich ion exchange columns for high-resolution separations over a wide range of temperature and sample viscosity. Use Bio-Scale CHT Type I columns for rapid, reproducible, high-resolution separation of proteins from analytical to semipreparative scales.
The physical properties of the target molecules analytes determine the most suitable HPLC column for a given separation. HPLC column separations can often exploit multiple differences in the molecular properties of the target molecules. Generally, the structure and chemistry of the HPLC column packing stationary phase determines the analyte elution profile.
HPLC column sizes range from capillary to process scale. The internal diameter ID and volume of a column determine both how much sample can be loaded onto a column and the sensitivity of separation.
The column ID can affect the separation profile, particularly when using gradient elution, with smaller IDs yielding increased separation and detection sensitivity. Therefore, for analytical separations there is typically a trade-off between sensitivity and the sample volume loaded onto a column. Many of the types of packing used for gravity or low-pressure chromatography are not able to withstand the high pressures used in an HPLC system. Common packing materials in HPLC columns include silica or hydroxyapatite media and polymeric resins such as polystyrene divinylbenzene.
These silanol groups are capable of interacting with the analyte polar functional groups but are of low enough energy not to give rise to significant peak tailing.
This type of silica is known as Type B or Type II and can add a polar influence to a reversed phase separation which can assist with the separation on analytes whose basic scaffold is similar but where there are differences in functional group chemistry. Element 3 shows yet another potentially harmful silica surface phenomenon. The inclusion of metal ions within the silica matrix especially aluminium, sodium and iron may lead to the association of protons onto the silica surface via co-ordination effects.
The presence of the protons leads to a highly acidic surface environment and these species will readily interact with acidic analyte functional groups to cause peak tailing.
Most manufacturers will use various techniques to wash the silica in order to remove the metal ions — however this may ultimately lead to a silica which is mechanically less stable and may crush more easily under high pressure operating conditions, leading to column voids and broad and or shouldered peaks. When using high pH eluents, the silica matrix itself will be subject to hydrolysis element 6 , which will ultimately cause the silica particles to dissolve, causing a column void and a gross reduction in efficiency with tailing or shouldered peaks, usually combined with a gradual increase in system back pressure.

April 7, Tony Taylor. Surface area and pore volume HPLC separations require a large surface area of hydrophobic material to act as the stationary phase for the separation, and there is a direct correlation between available surface area of the packed bed and column efficiency or plate count, which governs the width per unit time of each chromatographic peak.
