    Strict Manufacturing Uniformity

    Comparison of reproducibility between three batches of silica-based materials

    Balance of Number of Theoretical Plates and Column Pressure

    Shim-pack VP series achieves a higher number of theoretical plates while maintaining low pressure. It provides superior performance shown by NTP per 1MPa.

    NTP per 1MPa
    Column Size: 4.6 x 150 mm, Mobile Phase: Methanol/Water=70/30,
    Flow Rate: 1.0 mL/min., Sample: Naphthalene

    Excellent Peak Shape

    Packing materials with less metal impurities achieve excellent peak shape of coordination compounds.

    Completed end-capping achieves excellent peak shape of basic compounds.

    Smooth Transfer of Methods from High-Speed Analysis to Conventional Analysis

    By using the Shim-pack VP series of conventional columns in combination with the Shim-pack XR series of high-speed columns, which offer the equivalent separation performance, it is possible to perform method development via high-speed analysis, and then smoothly transfer to conventional analysis. Utilizing these columns with Nexera Method Scouting provides strong support for method development.
