HALO
Hyper-fast, super rugged (U)HPLC columns
The fused-core* particle technology was specially
developed to produce hyper-fast chromatographic separation while avoiding
the uncertainties associated with UHPLC. The father of the technique is dr.
Jack Kirkland, widely regarded as one of the "founders" of HPLC.
* or core-shell, or
superficially-porous, or semi-porous, or pellicular
BACK PRESSURE - significantly less compared to UHPLC
columns
CONVENTIONAL HPLC EQUIPMENT can be used with near-UHPLC performance

 Separations are due primarily to hydrophobic interactions and differences in hydrophobicity among analytes. Excellent for a broad range of analytes. |
 Separations are due primarily to hydrophobic interactions and differences in hydrophobicity among analytes. Excellent for a broad range of analytes. |
 Resistant to dewetting and compatible with 100% aqueous mobile phases. Retains polar molecules more than classic C18 phases. |
 High shape selectivity for hydrophobic, long-chain, structurally related isomers. 100% aqueous compatibility. |
 Separation of polar compounds with a combination of hydrophobic, aromatic, and polar selectivities. |
 Separations occur due to hydrophobic and pi-pi interactions. Enhanced retention and selectivity for aromatic and unsaturated analytes (especially those with electron-withdrawing groups and halogens). Compatible with highly aqueous mobile phases. |
 Retention and selectivity due to hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding interactions. Less retentive than C18 and C8, except for analytes with proton-donor groups. Compatible with 100% aqueous mobile phases. |
 Separations take place due to multiple types and degrees of analyte interactions including hydrophobic, pi-pi, dipole-dipole, and hydrogen bonding. Can be used in HILIC mode (with more than 80% acetonitrile in mobile phase). Enhanced selectivity for stereoisomers. Compatible with highly aqueous mobile phases. |
 This trifunctional, un-endcapped C18 bonded phase has been specifically designed to provide fast, efficient, selective separations of PAH compounds. |
 Moderately polar phase for alternate selectivity. Steric-protected silane for low pH stability. Fully end-capped for neutral pH applications. |
 Can be used in both HILIC and normal-phase modes. Enhanced sensitivity and peak shape for LC-MS analyses of basic analytes. |
 Provides superior retention to silica HILIC and amide HILIC phases for acids and zwitterionic analytes. |
