Analysis Note

The Phenyl-Hexyl phase of the Ascentis Express product line displays the best selectivity of this sample; selectivity is markedly affected by choice of organic modifier. The application also demonstrates feasibility of fast LC with Ascentis Express by virtue of low backpressure and high efficiency.
