Immobilized Stationary Phase

High Resistance to Solvents

The COSMOSIL CHiRAL series uses a chiral selector that is chemically bonded to the silica gel, which results in high resistance to solvents. Tetrahydrofuran (THF) strips coated selectors from the stationary phase, reducing theoretical plates to less than 1/5 in our experiment. However, the same selectors bonded to the silica withstood repeated injections of THF.

Sample: 1-Acenaphthenol

Application

Available in 3 µm Particles

Sharp Peaks

COSMOSIL CHiRAL columns are available in 3 µm particles, which yield sharper peaks than conventional 5 µm particles. Columns for preparative separations are available with 5 µm particles.

Moderate Backpressure

The COSMOSIL CHiRAL 3 series (3 µm particles) puts moderately higher pressure on the system compared to conventional 5 µm particles. This improves reproducibility for low-pressure solvents, such as hexane, that may otherwise cause pump irregularities. As shown in the figure below, increased 2-propanol concentration causes higher pressure. However, even at 50% (v/v), the pressure did not exceed 12 MPa. At the lowest concentration of 5% (v/v), the backpressure was 5.3 MPa. This range allows high flexibility in mobile phase composition and selectivity.

Column Selection

COSMOSIL CHiRAL offers 3 different chiral selectors that, together, have a high probability of separating your sample. Of 28 samples in our test, 27 pairs of enantiomers were fully separated. For samples that do not separate easily with any column, please adjust the type and concentration of solvents in your mobile phase.
