Columns for Analytical HPLCAchieve excellent peak shape and resolution –and eliminate "false starts."Good news for analysts who do not have time to "make columns work" for a particularapplication: ZORBAX columns let you choose the right column based on your sampleand mobile phase – eliminating any guesswork.Additionally, Agilent’s ZORBAX silica is manufactured by Agilent – not purchased fromoutside suppliers. And that means we control every step of the manufacturing process,ensuring lot-to-lot consistency, superior performance, and long-term, reliable results.In this section, you will find a diverse range of ZORBAX columns designed for optimumresolution over a wide pH range, including:• Poroshell 120 columns – feature high efficiency and high resolution with 50% less pressurethan sub-2 micron columns.• ZORBAX Eclipse Plus HPLC columns – designed to reliably produce superior peak shapefor basic compounds.• ZORBAX Eclipse PAH HPLC columns – ideal for applications requiring "shape selectivity"or the separation of geometric isomers.• ZORBAX Eclipse XDB HPLC columns – a trusted choice for analytical and regulatory methods.• ZORBAX StableBond HPLC columns – the industry leader for low-pH applications.• ZORBAX Rx HPLC columns – provide excellent stability up to pH 9.• ZORBAX Extend-C18 HPLC columns – feature bidentate bonding that allows you to develophigh-resolution separations at high pH levels.• ZORBAX Bonus-RP HPLC columns – an alkyl-amide column that offers excellent peak shapefor bases, along with an alternative selectivity.• Original ZORBAX HPLC columns – are made with Type A silica and are used in manyestablished separation methods.• ZORBAX HILIC Plus columns – superior peak shape and retention of polar basic compoundswith silica in HILIC mode• ZORBAX Method Development kits – contain three columns for the price of two! Each hasa different bonded phase for optimal selectivity.• ZORBAX Method Validation kits – choose as many columns as you need (or as few) to makemethod validation easier and less expensive.• ZORBAX Ion Exchange columns – available as Strong Anion Exchange (SAX) and StrongCation Exchange (SCX)Order online at www.agilent.com/chem/store19
