ODS-AQ is a unique reversed-phase material with both a hydrophobic high carbon loading and a relatively hydrophilic surface. Because of the hydrophilic surface, ODS-AQ can be "wetted" with polar eluents. ODS-AQ provides chromatographers reproducible retention and excellent peak shape in highly aqueous eluents even 100% water. That is difficult with conventional ODS packings.
Application: For Crude Drugs (Glycosides)
- Recommended for analysis of highly polar compounds
- Eliminates need for paired ion reagents
- Strong retention in aqueous eluents
- Enhanced separation of biomolecules such as peptides, proteins and nucleotides
- Different selectivity versus conventional ODS
