Ultisil® XB-C8-Less retentive than XB-C18
Ultisil® XB-C8 Phase
The XB-C8 phase is less retentive than XB-C18 phase, useful for strong hydrophobic compounds that are too strongly retained on C18 phase, and for LC/MS applications, where long retention is not desired. When separating neutral or other highly retained compounds, XB-C8 can save analytical time. However, when separating polar compounds, XB-C8 column provides different selectivity than does XB-C18 column.

Ultisil® XB-Phenyl-Different Selectivity to Alkyl Phase
Ultisil® XB-Phenyl Phase
Ultisil® XB-Phenyl phase is less retentive than conventional C18 or C8 phases, but more retentive than standard cyano phase. Due to their ability to participate in Tt-Tt interactions, XB-Phenyl columns may actually be more retentive than C18 or C8 columns towards certain polar aromatic compounds, depending on running conditions. The selectivity for highly polar aromatics, which are poorly retained on alkyl-bonded phases, together with reduced retentivity towards non-polar compounds, make XB-Phenyl an excellent choice for the analysis of complex mixtures of polar and non-polar analytes. Additionally, this bonding phase boasts high surface coverage and exhaustive double end-capping, leading to better performance.

Ultisil® XB-C1
Ultisile XB-c1 column
Ultisile XB-C1 column is bonded with trimethylchlorosilane, possessing medium polarity. It can be used with common reverse-phase solvents to analyze hydrophobic compounds or with high-water content solvents to analyze highly polar compounds. Due to hydrophobic interactions, the retention is lower compared to other high-performance liquid chroma- tography columns, enabling rapid elution of hydrophobic compounds. Sometimes, it can also provide better separation of hydrophilic compounds than other reverse-phase columns. It is suitable for separating samples that are highly polar and difficult to separate with general reverse-phase or normal-phase columns.

Ultisil® XB-CN-unique selectivity for polar compounds
Ultisil* xB-CN column
Ultisil* XB-CN column can be used in either reversed or normal phase. Reversed phase CN column has special selectivity
for polar compounds, and due to its low hydrophobicity, elution of hydrophobic molecules is fast. Furthermore, XB-CN
column shows perfect peak shape for strong basic analytes (induding quaternary ammonium salts), Polarity of XB-CN
column is the strongest among all reversed columns. It is a good choice for compounds that are strongly retained on
standard reversed columns.
Normal phase CN column can replace SiO2 column. Equilibrium of normal phase column is fast, and the silica surface activi-
ty is better than that of silica column. To prolong column life time, alternation between reversed phase and normal phase
uses should be avoided. While XB-CN column can be used in either reversed or normal phase, elution sequence is different
in different separation mode.

Ultisil® HILIC Amphion II
Ultisil® HILIC Amphion II
Ultisil® HILIC Amphion II is a newly developed HILIC column, using amphion-bonded silica as packing material. It applies to the separation of most polar compounds, using acetonitrile or Water other than ion-pairing reagents as mobile phase. The Amphion, containing both Positive Charge Centre and Negative Charge Centre, brings high retention for acid and alkaline compounds through ion-exchange mechanism. Compared with common HILIC packing materials like silica and amino groups, the Amphion-bonded packing material provides better reproducibility and stability.

ULTISIL® SPECIALIZED C18 HPLC COLUMN
Ultisil® AQ-C18-The most widely used column in food industry
Ultisil® AQ-C18 columns are designed to have extended retention and selectivity for hydrophilic and polar compounds, which are poorly or not at all retained on other phases. A proprietary bonding chemistry, Ultisil AQ-C18 avoids so-called “phase collapse”, even when 100% water is used, a phenomenon that conventional C18 columns typically exhibit at high water content in the mobile phase. Ultisil® AQ-C18 phase is fully end-capped to ensure the best peak shapes of polar and basic compounds and longer lifetime. Typical applications are separations of water soluble compounds that cannot be retained on traditional C18 phase. Examples include biomolecules, metabolites, and pharmaceutical degradants such as organic acids, water-soluble vitamins, oligosaccharides, amino acids, and small peptides and nucleotides.
