Chromanik SunShell C18 HPLC Columns
SunShell HPLC Columns
The SunShell C18 Core-Shell Column is a high-performance chromatography column designed to deliver fast, efficient, and reliable separations for both HPLC and UHPLC applications. Built with advanced core-shell particle technology and excellent silanol deactivation, it provides high separation efficiency, improved peak shapes, and lower back pressure compared to many conventional sub-2 µm columns.
SunShell C18 columns enable laboratories to achieve faster analyses without compromising chromatographic performance. For example, the 2.6 µm SunShell C18 (100 × 4.6 mm) delivers separation performance comparable to a conventional 5 µm C18 (250 × 4.6 mm) column, allowing significantly shorter run times while maintaining existing chromatographic conditions.
The advanced end-capping technology minimizes interactions with residual silanol groups, resulting in excellent peak symmetry, especially for basic compounds, while enhancing column stability and durability. With compatibility across both conventional HPLC and UHPLC systems, SunShell C18 is an excellent choice for laboratories seeking higher productivity, reproducible results, and dependable performance.
