IntroductionINTRODUCTIONPar t I: In t r o d u c t i o nAcclaim Column Families at a GlanceDionex Acclaim columns are silica-based columns designed for high efficiency separations and manufactured using ultra-high purity silica.Product families consists of a br<strong>oa</strong>d spectrum of stationary phases in the form of the conventional C8 and C18 phases. polar embedded phases.and several specialty phases, each designed for a specific application or group of applications. All Acclaim columns are designed and manufacturedat Dionex, to tight specifications, to ensure consistent performance.General Purpose HPLC ColumnsAcclaim 120High purity silica for small molecule separationsAcclaim 120 reversed-phase C18 and C8 phases are manufactured using high purity silica with a 120-Å pore diameter,very high surface coverage, low silanol activity, and very low metal content. All the phases are LC-MS compatible withgood capacity ideal for use with high organic mobile phases.CharacteristicsHigh purity spherical silica, LC/MS compatible, monomeric bonding, endcapped, 120 Å pore size, 3 µm, 5 µm.Acclaim 300Wide pore columns for macromolecule applicationsAcclaim 300 columns are ideal for the reversed-phase separation of proteins, peptides, and other biological macromolecules.The unique bonding chemistry results in a high-density, highly uniform phase coverage. The use of a 3-µm silicaparticle results in fast, high-resolution separations.CharacteristicsHigh purity spherical silica, LC/MS compatible, monomeric bonding, endcapped, 300 Å pore size, 3 µm, 5 µm.Acclaim PAPolar-embedded Reversed-phase columns for separating a wide range of analytesAcclaim PolarAdvantage (PA) columns feature a patented bonding chemistry that incorporates a polar sulfonamide groupnear the surface of the silica particle. This unique chemistry provides enhanced hydrolytic stability and allows a singlecolumn to resolve both polar and nonpolar analytes. The Acclaim PA is compatible with 100% aqueous mobile phases andexhibits high reversed-phase capacity.CharacteristicsHigh purity spherical silica, LC/MS compatible within guidelines, endcapped, 120 Å pore size, 3 µm, 5 µm.Acclaim PA2Polar-embedded columns with enhanced hydrolytic stabilityAcclaim PolarAdvantage II (PA2) columns feature a patented bonding chemistry that provides enhanced hydrolytic stabilityfrom pH 1.5–10 and allows a single column to resolve both polar and nonpolar analytes. The Acclaim PA2 is compatiblewith 100% aqueous mobile phases and exhibits high reversed-phase capacity, with selectivity complementary toconventional C18 columns such as the Acclaim 120 C18.CharacteristicsHigh purity spherical silica, LC/MS compatible, endcapped, 120 Å pore size, 3 µm, 5 µm.- 4 -www.dionex.com
