Econosil Silica is a bare, unmodified HPLC column based on fully porous, high-purity silica, designed for normal-phase and adsorption chromatography. The accessible silanol groups provide strong polar retention through hydrogen bonding and dipole interactions, making it suitable for separating polar compounds, isomers, and neutral organic molecules. Econosil Silica is a reliable and cost-effective option for classical retention mechanisms in normal-phase HPLC.
Econosil Silica delivers classical normal-phase retention at an economical price – ideal for routine polar compound separations using traditional silica chromatography.
Econosil Silica is a good alternative to Polygosil® Si.
