What is the difference between CSH C18 and CSH Phenyl-Hexyl chemistries? - WKB220178

Article number: 220178

ENVIRONMENT

  • Column chemistry
  • CSH C18
  • CSH Phenyl-Hexyl
  • ACQUITY
  • XSelect

ANSWER

The C18 ligand is an alkyl chain and the Phenyl is a ring structure.

The C18 is more nonpolar than the Phenyl and has more retention for a nonpolar compound.

The two chemistries can have different selectivities because the Phenyl can interact with the pi elections of aromatic ring structures.
