InertSustain AX-C18

InertSustain AX-C18 is a reversed-phase mixed-mode column with an octadecyl group and an alkylamine group.

It is possible to retain polar acidic components that are generally not retained without the use of ion-pair reagents, and by setting the ion exchange capacity weaker, the buffer mobile phase used in LC / MS can be sufficiently eluted. Is designed for. It also has excellent inter-lot reproducibility, which tends to be a problem with columns.
