These columns provide good peak shape over awide pH range (2-9) for additional method development flexibility with one family of columns.Eclipse XDB columns can be used for method development at low pH (2-3) and the samecolumn can be used for method development in the mid pH (6-8) region. In the mid pH regionresidual silanols are more active and tailing interactions are more likely. To overcome theseinteractions, Eclipse XDB columns are eXtra Densely Bonded and double endcapped througha proprietary process to cover as many active silanols as possible. The result is superior peakshape of basic compounds from pH 2-9. Eclipse XDB columns are available in 1.8, 3.5, 5and 7 µm particle sizes for high speed, high resolution, analytical and prep scale separations.Column SpecificationsBonded PhasePoreSizeSurfaceAreaTemp.Limits pH Range* EndcappedCarbonLoadZORBAX Eclipse XDB-C18 80Å 180 m 2 /g 60°C 2.0-9.0 Double 10%ZORBAX Eclipse XDB-C8 80Å 180 m 2 /g 60°C 2.0-9.0 Double 7.6%ZORBAX Eclipse 80Å 180 m 2 /g 60°C 2.0-9.0 Double 7.2%XDB-PhenylZORBAX Eclipse XDB-CN 80Å 180 m 2 /g 60°C 2.0-8.0 Double 4.3%Specifications represent typical values only.*Eclipse XDB columns are designed for operation over a wide pH range. At pH 6-9, highest columns stability for all silicabased columns is achieved by operating at temperatures < 40°C and using low buffer concentrations in the range of0.01 – 0.02M.32 Order online at www.agilent.com/chem/store

The conditions used for this test – high temperature (60°C) and high salt concentration (250 mM), accelerate the dissolution of silica, causing premature failureof the sil-gel type column.Order online at www.agilent.com/chem/store33
