Exsil 80 Nitrile

Cyano Silica Phase for Polar Selectivity in HPLC

Exsil 80 Nitrile is a silica-based HPLC stationary phase with an 80 Å pore size and a nitrile (cyano, CN) bonded surface, offering distinct polar selectivity and versatile chromatographic behavior. The CN functionality enables operation in both reversed-phase and normal-phase modes, providing orthogonal selectivity compared to alkyl-bonded phases.

The controlled pore structure delivers a high surface area, supporting sharp peak shapes, high efficiency, and reproducible retention for small-molecule separations. Exsil 80 Nitrile is particularly useful for analytes that require moderate polarity-based interactions or alternative selectivity to C8 and C18 phases.

Exsil 80 Nitrile provides versatile polarity-based selectivity, high efficiency, and reliable performance, making it a practical choice for flexible small-molecule HPLC separations.

Key Features:

  • Silica-based HPLC stationary phase with 80 Å pore size

  • Nitrile (CN) bonded phase for polar and dipolar interactions

  • Suitable for reversed-phase and normal-phase chromatography

  • Orthogonal selectivity to alkyl-bonded phases

  • High efficiency and reproducible chromatographic performance

  • Available particle sizes: 3 µm, 5 µm, 10 µm

Typical Applications:

  • Separation of polar and moderately non-polar small molecules

  • Normal-phase HPLC of organic compounds and intermediates

  • Reversed-phase methods requiring alternative selectivity

  • Pharmaceutical, chemical, food, and environmental analysis

  • Method development using orthogonal stationary phases
