YMC-Pack Pro C18

YMC-Pack Pro C18 Guard Columns

YMC recommends that you always use a guard column with the same packing material and of the recommended inner diameter for your column. A YMC guard column is normally composed of a cartridge holder and a guard cartridge. The holder can be used repeatedly. Guard cartridges should be changed frequently in order to maximise their protection of the main column.

YMC-Pack Pro C18 is based on an ultra pure silica support, which is used for the whole ProFamily. Due to a proprietary endcapping process especially designed for this type of silica, YMC-Pack Pro C18 is perfectly suitable for the separation of acidic and basic molecules. The inertness of the silica makes it an excellent choice for the analysis of drugs or metabolites, compounds that are susceptible to polar interactions with residual silanol groups and metal impurities.
