HPLC Column Microsorb-MV 100-5 C, 100Å, 5 µm, 4.6 x 150 mm

Microsorb C18 is a silica bonded to octadecylsilane that is mixed with a monofunctional reagent under optimal conditions to maximize coverage. The packing material is then terminated with trimethylsilyl groups to minimize the influence of the substrate silica. The result is high recovery and excellent peak shape. Because of our unique manufacturing process, Agilent offers reliable and reproducible columns with guaranteed performance.

C18 columns are used primarily in water/methanol or water/acetonitrile solvent combinations, and are excellent for the separation of low-molecular-weight substances, proteins, and peptides, depending on their hydrophobicity.

Microsorb MV columns are packed with the same high-quality packing material as regular Microsorb columns and have the same performance. The difference is that MV columns are tested in batches rather than individually, resulting in significant cost savings. Microsorb MV columns are useful when budget is limited or when columns degrade prematurely due to sample matrix or other effects. The Microsorb MV column presented here is 150 mm long, has an inner diameter of 4.6 mm and uses 5.0 µm large particles.
