XTIMATE® SERIES HPLC COLUMN
- Next generation beyond mid-range priced Ultisil® series
Xtimate® HPLC column derives its outstanding performance from a special hybrid particle based technique, which coats a unique 2nm organic/inorganic polymer layer on the silica surface, so that the pH range is extended to 1.0-12.5. Xtimate column is designed for HPLC method development. Regardless of the types of mobile phase or high temperature, Xtimate® HPLC column always has stable performance and long lifetime.
Features
- EXtra pH range: wide pH range from 1.0 to 12.5, excellent peak shape for strong bases.
- EXtra column lifetime: 5 times of similar product such as Gemini.
- EXtra performance: column efficiency of 5um columns is as high as 90000/m, 2-3 times of that of Xterra.
- EXtra care from Welch: enjoy excellent pre-sales and after-sales service from Welch.

Unprecedented Peak Shape
At mid pH, strong bases usually exhibit bad tailing due to secondary interactions between the analytes and the surface silaols. In Welch’s unique technique, the hybrid layer totally covers the surface silanols and blocks analytes access to these surface silanols. Improved bonding and endcapping further reduce silanol activity. As a result, hybrid particle based Xtimate® columns show unprecedented peak shape.

XTIMATE® SEC SERIES HPLC COLUMN
Xtimate® SEC
Xtimate® SEC (size exclusion chromatography), also known as “global protein hydrophilic modified silica column”, is made from ultra-high purity, stable silica bonded with hydrophilic polymer and diol functional groups. This double bonding mechanism, which makes possible of nonspecific adsorption of high Mw polymers, proteins, biological enzymes, polypep- tides and other biological samples, can be applied to separating water-soluble polymers from biomacromolecules.
Features
- Ultra-high purity, stable silica bonded with hydrophilic polymer and diol functional groups. shape for strong bases.
- 5um or 3um silica microsphere, high separation efficiency.
- 120Å minibore columns fit for analysis of polar compounds such as cephalosporins; 300Å ones fit for
biomacromolecules such as proteins and polypeptides. - Seven pore sizes: 120Å, 200Å, 300Å, 500Å, 700Å, 1000Å and 2000Å.
