Kanak HPLC Columns

Kanak HPLC columns – C18
Kanak C18 is the first-choice LC column for a wide range of analytes. The high carbon load ensures high retention and selectivity for compounds with moderate to high lipophilicity. Thorough end-capping together with very low acidity and homogenously distributed residual silanol groups gives excellent peak shape and efficiencies with bases as well as acidic compounds. […]

Kanak HPLC columns – C8
An alternative media to Kanak C18 that will give lower retention. Due to the more hydrophilic nature of the bonded phase, ionized acids and especially bases can have better peak shapes and slightly different selectivity compared to Kanak C18. Good choice for a mixture containing both moderately polar and very hydrophobic compounds. Specification Silica: […]

Kanak HPLC columns – C4
Good choice for extremely lipophilic compounds to reduce analytical time. The excellent starting point for analyzing peptide and protein mixtures. For intermediately polar analytes, such as amino acids, Kanak C4 can be run in HILIC-mode. Specification Silica: Type B Silica Particle Size: 2.6, 3.5, 5 μm Surface Area: 300 m2/g Pore Size: 110 Å […]

Kanak HPLC columns – Phenyl Hexyl
The electron rich phenyl ring and the alkyl chain will give a mixed interaction; π-π and hydrophobic interaction, respectively. The π-π interaction is most pronounced with electron deficient aromatics and protic moieties, such as hydroxyl groups. Good choice as an orthogonal column compared to Kanak C18/C8 in method development, where the traditional alkyl-based stationary phases […]

Kanak HPLC columns – PFP
Due to the highly electron deficient nature of the aromatic rings of Kanak PFP, the stationary phase will interact strongly with analytes containing polar aprotic and electron-rich aromatic moieties. This contrasts with the Kanak Phenyl Hexyl stationary phase. Additionally, the electronegative fluorines of the pentafluorophenyl group will provide strong hydrogen bonding with analytes with protic […]

Kanak HPLC columns – Cyano
A good choice for analytes having too high retention on an alkyl-based stationary phase, as well as mixtures of very polar and lipophilic analytes. The nitrile group of the stationary phase interacts favorably with analytes containing double and/or triple bonds, thereby making Kanak Cyano optimal for unsaturated compounds. Due to the very polar nature of […]
