Mightysil RP-18 GP Aqua demonstrates an increased durability and excellent reproducibility over conventional ODS columns when using up to 100% water-based solutions as eluents. This superior property was made possible by reducing the hydrophobic nature of the ODS ligands. Now Kanto gives you the ability to separate all substances, even if they are hydrophilic or hydrophobic, through the use of Mightysil columns.

Water Repellent: A conventional ODS column's hydrophobic properties repels water, which drastically reduces the durability of the column when using eluents with a high concentration of water.


Examples: Separation of hydrophilic substances (Mightysil RP-18 GP Aqua 250-4.6, 5µm)
 
Comparison with Mightysil RP-18 GP

In comparing RP-18 GP to RP-18 GP Aqua, the same separation pattern will be obtained, primarily due to identical full endcapping technology.
