DESCRIPTION
Force Biphenyl LC Columns
Material: (USP L11)
• Ideal for bioanalytical testing applications like drug and metabolite analyses.
• Heightened selectivity and retention for compounds that are hard to resolve or elute early on C18 and other phenyl chemistries.
• Limits ionization suppression and allows simple, MS-friendly mobile phases.
• Restek’s most popular LC stationary phase.
Force LC Columns
The culmination of 20+ years in LC, Force performance LC columns are long-lasting and reproducible, even under the stress of UHPLC. Premium quality is backed by the strength of our 100% Pure Satisfaction guarantee. And perhaps most important, Force columns are fully scalable between 3 or 5 µm HPLC and 1.8 µm UHPLC, so you can easily transfer and optimize methods without extensive calculations.
