Columns for Analytical HPLCZORBAX 80Å StableBondROOHSiRRR 1• Longest column lifetime and best reproducibility for low pH separations – down to pH 1• Patented stable column chemistry allows use at high temperature and low pHwithout degradation• Six different bonded phases provide broad selectivity – SB-C18, SB-C8, SB-CN, SB-Phenyl,SB-C3, SB-Aq• High purity (Type B) silica for good peak shapeOOHOSiRRSiRR 1R 1Agilent ZORBAX StableBond columns use patented, unique, nonfunctional silanes with bulkydiisobutyl (SB-C18) or diisopropyl (SB-C8, SB-C3, SB-Phenyl, SB-CN, and SB-Aq) side chaingroups that sterically protect the key siloxane bond to the silica surface from hydrolytic attackat low pH. StableBond packing materials are not endcapped in order to provide exceptionalstability and to maximize lifetime and reproducibility under acidic mobile phase conditions.The high purity, low acidity silica provides excellent peak shape with acidic, basic and neutralcompounds so that StableBond columns are an excellent choice for low pH methoddevelopment. ZORBAX StableBond columns are compatible with all common mobile phases,including very high aqueous mobile phases.Sterically Protected StableBond Bonded PhaseColumn SpecificationsBonded PhasePoreSizeSurfaceAreaTemp.Limits*pH Range* EndcappedCarbonLoadZORBAX SB-C18 80Å 180 m 2 /g 90°C 0.8-8.0 No 10%ZORBAX SB-C8 80Å 180 m 2 /g 80°C 1.0-8.0 No 5.5%ZORBAX SB-C3 80Å 180 m 2 /g 80°C 1.0-8.0 No 4%ZORBAX SB-Phenyl 80Å 180 m 2 /g 80°C 1.0-8.0 No 5.5%ZORBAX SB-CN 80Å 180 m 2 /g 80°C 1.0-8.0 No 4%ZORBAX SB-Aq 80Å 180 m 2 /g 80°C 1.0-8.0 No proprietarySpecifications represent typical values only.*StableBond columns are designed for optimal use at low pH. At pH 6-8, highest column stability for all silica-basedcolumns is obtained by operating at temperatures
