Discovery Zr-Carbon comprises spherical, porous carbon-coated zirconia particles. It is ideal for the reversed-phase separation of positional isomers and diastereomers. It complements the selectivity offering of the other zirconia- and silica-based Discovery phases, and allows the use of the full range of mobile phase pH from pH 1 to 14. It is a great alternative when C18 does not work.
Features and Benefits
Excellent separation of geometric isomers and diastereomers.
Very hydrophobic surface.
Most different retention compared to other Discovery Zr phases for non-ionic compounds.
Similar to porous graphitic carbon, but with added ion-exchange interactions.
Other Notes
Avoid fused-ring aromatics as they are too strongly retained by Discovery Zr-Carbon.
Recommended products
