Enhance Chromatographic Performance with the 1.0 mm Column Equipped with a New Bioinert Frit

Oct 4, 2024 by IDEX Health & Science

new bioinert frits available

Do you experience inconsistencies in your low-flow chromatography over the lifetime of your column?

With new bioinert frits, our PEEK-lined BioVersal 1.0 mm Column Hardware reduces unwanted sample surface interactions and enables system operation under harsh solvent or pH conditions.

 

A Smooth Surface Column that Packs a Punch

The PEEK-lined stainless-steel lining of the 1.0 mm column provides a metal-free pathway and the structural integrity to pack small particle substrates up to 40K psi. It also provides a consistent and smooth surface to reduce peak fronting effects common with microbore stainless steel column tubes. In operation, the 1.0 mm column can be continually subjected to 25K psi for hundreds of injections and can withstand temperatures up to 80° C without sample peak degradation.

How Does a Bioinert Frit Help with my HPLC Analyses?

Consistent Packing

Column tube surface finishes can impact the consistent packing of small ID columns used for microbore applications. Small ID Stainless Steel tubes have inconsistent surface roughness. Common challenges caused by inconsistent surface finishes include peak fronting, peek tailing and poor sensitivity. IDEX Health & Science’s 1.0 mm column with the new bioinert frits reduces these effects of stainless-steel tubing and allows for efficient packing of smaller particle column media.

Faster, More Consistent Samples

The smaller bore size is key to analyzing the separation of biologics faster with limited samples and gives you reliable and repeatable UHPLC analyses.

Other Bioinert Column Systems from IDEX Health & Science

We also offer 2.1 mm and 4.6 mm BioSafe columns for HPLC / IC and BioVersal columns for UHPLC. Both offerings are metal-free and can deliver excellent results when running demanding biopharmaceutical and ion chromatography applications.
