OD Series: SMT SAM-C18 phase with the highest functional ligand coverage confirmed with carbon analysis results of 24% carbon load. In these series, a very high density of the functional ligand, octadecyl (C18) molecule, is achieved through meticulous mixture of the C18 with proprietary spacer molecules to ensure maximum coverage. These phases are very hydrophobic and are designed to tolerate usage in very aggressive pH conditions and high temperatures.
