Adsorbosphere XL NH2

Long-Life Aminopropyl Phase for HILIC, Normal Phase, and Sugar Analysis

Adsorbosphere XL NH2 is a high-purity, fully porous silica-based HPLC column functionalized with aminopropyl (NH₂) groups and optimized for extended lifetime performance. As part of the XL series, it offers improved chemical stability and reduced degradation over long usage periods — especially in aqueous-organic HILIC systems or non-polar solvents.

The NH₂ functionality provides polar retention, weak anion exchange characteristics, and selective interactions for carbohydrates and sugar alcohols, making this phase particularly useful in food, pharmaceutical, and bioanalytical applications.

Adsorbosphere XL NH2 offers extended column stability for polar compound separations — ideal for demanding HILIC and carbohydrate applications requiring high reproducibility and long-term performance.
