The UniSep HPLC column is the newest C-8 reverse phase HPLC column from Whatman. Using state-of-the-art technology, UniSep was developed for conditions that call for a highly aqueous mobile phase.
The advantage of the UniSep C-8 column over a traditional C-8 column is the UniSep silica is hydrophilic, or able to be wetted out. This change in hydrophobicity is achieved by attaching an ether linkage in close proximity to the silica backbone. Since the ether group is polar, water can easily penetrate and hydrate the silica surface, allowing the analyte greater access to the binding sites. The advantage to the chromatographer is the flexibility gained when developing a method for highly water soluble compounds.
