LC COLUMNS
Prep Columns
PLEASE NOTE:
We strongly recommend ordering
a semi-prep or prep column only after evaluating
the desired separation on an equivalent analytical-
scale column. Because we cannot reuse a column
or the silica it contains once it has left our facility,
we cannot accept returns of large-scale columns.

Chromatographic Properties
The Restek® PFP Propyl is a great choice for the retention and selectivity of charged bases,
electronegative compounds, and amine-containing compounds. Unlike a conventional cyano
column, the Restek® PFP Propyl is much more amenable to LC-MS because it is more reliable
and efficient with acidic mobile phases. This versatile column is also compatible with highly
aqueous mobile phases and HILIC separations.

Chromatographic Properties
Since 2005, the Restek® Biphenyl has offered a greater degree of dispersion than conventional
phenyls and a greater degree of polarizability than phenyl hexyls, creating higher selectivity and
a greater range of usability. Because of these heightened interactions, this column shows sub-
stantial increases in retention—especially for dipolar, unsaturated, or conjugated solutes—and
enhanced orthogonal selectivity when using methanol mobile phases. It is ideal for increasing
sensitivity and selectivity in LC-MS analyses.
