Inertsil SIL-100A

• Widely recognized as one of the finest silicas ever created for chromatography

GL Sciences was the first company to emphasize the critical importance of silica-gel purity and silanol "speciation" ( e.g. optimizing isolated, vicinal, geminal, and siloxane ratios ) in creating a silica with optimal chromatographic properties.
Inertsil SIL-100A° represents, to this day in 2007, the best-of-the-best silica material available in the chromatography industry. It is the basis for the advanced Inertsil 3-Series, and is available in 3, 5, and 8 micron particle size in column configurations ranging from capillary to 50mm ID preparative sizes for normal phase chromatography.
The Inertsil 3-series represents a major advance in performance over the original Inertsil 2-Series. Inertsil 3-Series phases, including ODS-3, ODS-3V, ODS-P, ODS-EP, C8-3, Ph-3, CN-3, NH2, Diol, and SIL-100A°, are based on a purer, higher surface area silica which is specially manufactured to provide maximum bonded phase coverage. The result is a series of columns which provide excellent peak shapes using simple eluents while operating at low pressure.
Inertsil phases are known to provide excellent results and long column life at pH levels of 9-10. However, optimum column life may be achieved at a pH between 2 and 7.5.
