Our Shaper HPLC range
Shaper Global
High performance spherical silica, high purity, and low metal content for challenging applications.The narrow distribution of particle size, combined with a specific surface and an optimal pore volume allows for robust particles with excellent retention characteristics.
- Excellent peak shape.
- Partition of acid, basic and neutral compounds in a single analysis.
- Excellent column lifetime.
Normal endcapping for the Shaper range.
Shaper Extreme columns
Born from our last-generation bonding technology.Controlled hydrophobia allowing the obtention of optimal retention times and a decrease in inclusion and «carry over» phenomena.
- Ideal for a mass spectrometry use, C18 trifunctional bonding.
- High robustness in extreme environments.
- Steric selectivity
Shaper AQ columns
Stable from 100% of organic phase to 100% of aqueous phase.The Shaper AQ column possesses an extremely stable bonding phase which permits the use of a single column in diverse mobile phase conditions. You can easily work in highly organic or highly aqueous conditions.
- Available in a wide selection of column formats.
- Long column lifetime.
- Excellent retention of polar analytes with 100% aqueous mobile phases.
- High retention of hydrophobic analytes with 100% organic mobile phases.
