Acidic-basic resistance

pH 1.8 Robustness
The high stability of ACE C18, C8, C4, CN and Phenyl phases was demonstrated: after three months usage at pH 1.8, no retention loss was observed with any ACE phase. Even cyano bonded columns (regarded to be most vulnerable to hydrolysis) showed excellent resistance.
pH 11.0 Robustness

Again, the ultra high purity ACE silica coupled with unique dense bonding technology effectively prevents silica dissolution. ACE columns withstand highly alkaline conditions without loss of column efficiency after 3 months usage at pH 11.0.

 

ACE capillary and nano columns

- High sensitivity
- Low sample mass and volume application
- Compatible with LC-MS and LC-MS/MS
- Very low solvent consumption
- Suitable for proteomics
- Compatible with LC-MS and LC-MS/MS
