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.

Key Features

  • Aminopropyl-modified silica (USP L8) bonding for longer lifetime

  • Compatible with HILIC, normal-phase, and carbohydrate analysis

  • Retains polar analytes via hydrogen bonding and dipole interactions

  • Improved chemical robustness in aqueous and high-pH conditions

  • Available in 3 µm, 5 µm and 10 µm particle sizes

  • Fully porous silica with excellent reproducibility

Typical Applications

  • Monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, and sugar alcohols

  • Organic acids and polar drug metabolites

  • Normal-phase separation of polar and neutral compounds

  • Carbohydrate profiling in food and pharmaceutical products

  • HILIC applications with acetonitrile-rich mobile phases
