Quickly develop robust HPLC methods with our mixed-mode columns. Access the most comprehensive mixed-mode portfolio in the industry. Explore mixed-mode interactions. Benefit from enhanced retention, selectivity, and perfect peak shape.
New HPLC columns are introduced annually, many of which are merely slight modifications of existing models, typically focusing on a single interaction type, such as reversed-phase or HILIC. Often, these columns are designed by individuals lacking deep experience in solving separation challenges or in understanding the necessary modifications at the support surface. At HELIX Chromatography, with decades of experience since 2002, we have pioneered numerous stationary phases and recognize the need for a new approach to stationary phase design. We adhere to several critical design principles:
- Consistency in the surface modification process
- Chemical and mechanical robustness of the stationary phase and solid support
- Uniform particle size and distribution in the stationary support bed
- Reliable reproducibility in the packing process
- Optimal ligand density and surface area on the support
- Precise, single-ligand configurations to minimize analysis variability
