ReproSil-Pur 120-C18 ace-EPS

Polar-Embedded C18 HPLC Column for Enhanced Selectivity

ReproSil-Pur 120 C18 ace-EPS is a silica-based HPLC column with octadecyl bonded chemistry and a polar-embedded group, built on high-purity 120 Å silica. The embedded polar functionality reduces silanol interactions, improving peak symmetry for basic analytes, while maintaining strong hydrophobic retention for nonpolar compounds.

This dual retention mechanism makes ReproSil-Pur 120 C18 ace-EPS especially versatile for complex mixtures and stability-indicating assays, where both hydrophobic and polar interactions are required. The robust bonding chemistry ensures reproducibility and long operational lifetimes.

ReproSil-Pur 120 C18 ace-EPS provides robust hydrophobic retention with enhanced polar selectivity – the reliable choice for laboratories performing complex reversed-phase HPLC separations.

Key Features:

  • High-purity silica with octadecyl (C18) bonded chemistry and polar-embedded group

  • 120 Å pore size optimized for small to medium-sized molecules

  • Balanced retention combining hydrophobic and polar interactions

  • Reduced silanol activity for improved peak symmetry of basic analytes

  • Available particle sizes: 3 µm, 5 µm

Typical Applications:

  • Pharmaceutical impurity profiling and forced degradation studies

  • Biochemical analysis of basic drugs, polar metabolites, and mixed analytes

  • Food and beverage testing of hydrophobic and polar compounds

  • Environmental monitoring of pollutants requiring orthogonal selectivity

  • Method development requiring versatile reversed-phase selectivity
