Silica Gel Packing Agent for HPLC Columns (Unmodified, C18 Modified)
Silica gel has a strong physical strength and is the most widely used as a column packing agent for analysis and purification in chromatographies such as HPLC, medium and low pressure chromatography, and open column chromatography.
In general, there are unmodified silica gel and chemically modified silica gel that has been changed their functions by binding of various functional groups (C18, NH2 etc.) to the silanol groups on the surface of silica gel.
FUJIFILM Wako provides lineups of spherical silica gel (Wakosil® 5SIL series) that is used as a packing agent for HPLC columns used for normal-phase chromatography and spherical silica gel (Wakosil® C18 series) that is used as a packing agent for HPLC columns used for reverse-phase chromatography.
