Exsil 80

Silica-Based HPLC Media with 80 Å Pore Size for Small-Molecule Separations

Exsil 80 is a group of silica-based HPLC stationary phases featuring a nominal pore size of 80 Å, specifically optimized for the separation of small molecules and low-molecular-weight compounds. The controlled pore structure provides a high surface area, enabling strong analyte interaction and high chromatographic efficiency in both normal-phase and reversed-phase HPLC.

The Exsil 80 silica platform is designed to support a wide range of bonded phases and separation modes, including unmodified silica, alkyl-bonded phases, and polar or ionic modifications. This flexibility allows Exsil 80 materials to be used in normal-phase HPLC, reversed-phase HPLC, HILIC-type separations, and mixed-mode applications.

Due to the optimized pore diameter and narrow particle size distribution, Exsil 80 delivers sharp peak shapes, excellent resolution, and reproducible retention behavior, making it suitable for both routine analysis and method development.

Exsil 80 provides reliable performance, high efficiency, and versatile selectivity and is an excellent choice for small-molecule HPLC applications where controlled pore size and robust silica quality are essential.
