TSKgel Amide-80, 2 µm

TSKgel Amide-80, 2 µm columns are packed with spherical silica particles that are covalently bonded with carbamoyl groups. The amide stationary phase provides a unique selectivity under regular normal phase conditions or in the hydrophilic interaction mode of chromatography.

TSKgel Amide-80, 2 µm columns possess superior stability in aqueous/organic solvent systems, an advantage over other hydrophilic stationary phases such as traditional amino-bonded phase columns. In addition, TSKgel Amide-80, 2 µm columns are ideally suited for sensitive LC/MS analysis of water-soluble polar compounds because the high organic content in the mobile phase provides rapid evaporation of solvent during electrospray ionization.

Target applications for the TSKgel Amide-80, 2 µm columns include the analysis of glycans and hydrophilic molecules.

The pore size of the bonded phase is indicated by the number in the product description, in this case TSKgel Amide-80 has 8 nm nominal pore size. The nominal pore size of the starting base silica is 10 nm.
