ACE UltraCore Solid-core Extended pH UHPLC/HPLC Columns

ACE UltraCore is a new range of ultra-inert solid-core (superficially porous) particle UHPLC/HPLC columns from Advanced Chromatography Technologies Limited. The monodisperse particle distribution of these phases combines high efficiency and performance, with a low column back pressure, to deliver exceptional chromatography. Ultra-inert ACE UltraCore is available with 2.5µm and 5µm solid-core particle sizes with SuperC18 and SuperPhenylHexyl bonding. Both phases feature proprietary Encapsulated Bonding Technology (EBT), which results in excellent peak shape and superb phase stability across an extended pH range of 1.5 to 11.0. Encapsulated Bonding Technology dramatically increases the ligand coverage of the silica surface and effectively eliminates the effect of unbonded silanol groups on separations. This higher ligand coverage results in improved inertness, chromatographic performance and stability. With these exciting new solid-core phases chromatographers can confidently exploit selectivity at low, intermediate and high pH for rapid, systematic method development.

The ACE SuperC18 phase is also available with fully porous particle 2µm, 3µm, 5µm and 10µm UHPLC/HPLC columns. ACE SuperC18 columns are designed for use with LC/MS compatible buffers and offer ultra-low bleed for improved LC/MS compatibility. They can be used with both MeOH and MeCN mobile phases and offer rapid column equilibration without memory effects.

Advanced Chromatography Technologies also manufacture the ACE range of 'Extra Stability', 'Alternative Selectivity' phases which includes ACE C18-Amide, ACE CN-ES, ACE C18-AR and ACE C18-PFP. These phases incorporate the latest developments in UHPLC/HPLC stationary phase design to provide chromatographers with more choices for alternative selectivity without compromising stability or robustness.

The full range of ACE ultra-inert HPLC and UHPLC columns also includes C18, C8, C4, C18-HL, Phenyl, Cyano, AQ and Silica along with five 300Å wide pore phases (C18, C8, C4, CN and Phenyl).
