About Inertsil Hybrid-C18

 

A Legacy of Quality

 

Since the launch of Inertsil ODS-3 in 1994, we have consistently manufactured HPLC columns in-house—from the synthesis of base silica to final packing. This fully integrated production process is the foundation of our ability to deliver high-quality, highly reliable columns with unmatched consistency. 

Inertsil Hybrid-C18 was newly developed to meet the evolving needs of users, offering exceptional durability under high-pH mobile phase conditions. This column expands application flexibility while maintaining the trusted performance of the Inertsil series.

 
 
 

One Column, Infinite Possibilities

Impact of Mobile Phase pH on Selectivity

 

These chromatograms demonstrate how changes in mobile phase pH influence the selectivity and resolution of analytes. Inertsil Hybrid-C18 of hybrid silica gel allows stable performance across this wide pH range without loss of efficiency and reproducibility

 
 

  • Basic compounds (pKa ≈ 9) show stronger retention at high pH due to reduced ionization

  • Acidic compounds (e.g., COOH) retain better at low pH where ionization is suppressed.

  • Understanding pKa enables control over separation behavior.

 
 
 
 

Alkali-Resistant Hybrid Silica Technology

 

    Superior Durability Under High pH Conditions (pH 11.5)

     

    With its advanced hybrid silica technology, Inertsil Hybrid-C18 delivers exceptional resistance to alkaline mobile phase condition. Even under high-pH mobile phase conditions that typically cause dissolution of conventional packings, the column maintains its structural integrity.

    This unique robustness prevents loss of theoretical plates, guaranteeing reliable peak resolution, reproducible separations, and extended column lifetime.

    Excellent batch-to-batch reproducibility

    Comparison of three different production lots of Inertsil Hybrid-C18 show virtually identical retention and peak shape, demonstrating outstanding lot-to-lot consistency. This high reproducibility ensures method robustness and eliminates the need for revalidation when switching lots.

     
     
     

    Superior Performance Across Challenging Analytes with Inertsil Hybrid-C18

    Inertsil Hybrid-C18 demonstrates excellent peak shape for basic compounds, acidic compounds, and metal-coordinating compounds, outperforming competitor columns.This high-level performance is achieved through our proprietary hybrid silica technology, which offers superior resistance to peak tailing and adsorption issues under a wide range of pH conditions.
