COSMOSIL Protein-R is a reversed phased HPLC column designed specifically for peptide and protein separations. This column provides improved separation, high recovery rate and acid-resistant, which are often problematic to separate using conventional C18-300 (wide pore) and C4-300 (wide pore).

The figure below shows recovery rates for proteins using different columns. Protein-R shows a higher recovery rate than C4-300 and a much higher recovery rate than C18-300.

The figure below shows durability against acidic mobile phase of various columns. Protein-R shows a higher acid durability than C4-300.

5C18-MS-II (pore size 120) shows better separation of low molecular weight proteins, but Protein-R shows better separation of high-molecular weight proteins.
