Econosphere Silica is a bare, unmodified HPLC column based on fully porous, high-purity silica, optimized for normal-phase and adsorption-based separations. Its accessible silanol groups enable strong polar interactions, making it ideal for separating polar compounds, isomers, and neutral organic molecules. Econosphere Silica offers cost-effective performance for laboratories applying classical chromatographic techniques.
Econosphere Silica delivers reliable polar selectivity at an economical price – ideal for routine normal-phase and adsorption-based HPLC workflows.
