Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I choose the correct HPLC column stationary phase?
Selection depends on the polarity of your analytes. We offer a comprehensive range of C18, silica, and specialized phases from Macherey-Nagel designed to optimize retention and resolution for diverse chemical classes.
2. Why is specialized solvent storage important for HPLC?
Mobile phases must be kept free from dust and evaporation to prevent baseline noise. Solvent handling solutions from Bohlender and DWK Life Sciences feature specialized caps and filters to maintain solvent purity and protect the pump system.
3. Can I use glass columns for high-pressure applications?
Standard glass columns from Lenz-Laborglas and Hecht are generally designed for gravity or low-pressure flash chromatography. For high-pressure liquid chromatography, specialized stainless steel or PEEK HPLC columns should be used.
4. Are these accessories compatible with my existing chromatography system?
Yes. Our range of HPLC accessories from KEFO and Macherey-Nagel utilizes standard thread sizes and fittings, ensuring seamless integration with major chromatography hardware brands.
5. How can I extend the life of my HPLC column?
Using appropriate guard columns and ensuring all solvents are filtered through high-quality handling systems from ISOLAB or Bohlender will prevent particulate buildup and chemical contamination of the stationary phase.
