Polymer-based RP Columns
Polymethacrylate-based reversed phase columns are available in a range of pore and particle sizes. Although often not as efficient and less robust than silica-based RPC columns, key advantages of polymer-based columns are:
- Wider pH range (1 to 12) allows many basic compounds to be analyzed in their uncharged form, thus reducing secondary adsorption and improving peakshape.
- Improved recovery for peptides and proteins due to reduced secondary interactions
TSKgel Octadecyl-NPR columns have a 2.5 µm particle size, fast kinetics, high column efficiency, and quantitative protein recovery at sub-µg loads. TSKgel Octadecyl-2PW is based on 5 µm particle size TSKgel G2000PW resin, with 12.5 nm pores, while the TSKgel Octadecyl-4PW is based on the TSKgel G4000PW resin, which contains 50 nm pores.
TSKgel Phenyl-5PW RP is based on 10 µm particle size TSKgel G5000PW resin, with an average pore size of 100 nm.
