Tosoh Bioscience is extending the portfolio of TSK-GEL ODS-100 reversed phase columns by a new 3µm TSKgel ODS-100Z stationary phase and additional column dimensions for all TSK-GEL ODS-100 phases.
Tosoh Bioscience is extending the portfolio of TSK-GEL ODS-100 reversed phase columns by a new 3µm TSKgel ODS-100Z stationary phase and additional column dimensions for all TSK-GEL ODS-100 phases. TSKgel ODS-100V and TSKgel ODS-100Z columns incorporate best-in-class surface properties to limit secondary interactions of basic, acidic and chelating compounds. They offer high efficiency and symmetrical peak shapes.
TSK-GEL ODS-100Z columns offer strong retention and high selectivity when separating homologues series of non-polar and polar compounds. They contain a high density monomeric C18 bonded phase for maximum retention of small molecular weight compounds. When using low pH mobile phase conditions, TSK-GEL ODS-100Z columns outlast other RP columns by providing stable retention. This popular C18 phase is now available in 3µm particle size. For both, 3µm and 5µm particle size the choice of available column dimensions was expanded.
TSK-GEL ODS-100V columns provide strong retention and high selectivity for polar solutes. The TSKgel ODS-100V stationary phase is less hydrophobic than ODS-100Z phase. Monomeric bonded phase chemistry and highly efficient endcapping provides complete wetting and retention stability in 100% aqueous mobile phases. Due to continued requests 3 mm ID and other lengths were added to the existing 2 and 4.6 mm ID TSKgel ODS-100V, 3µm and 5µm column line.
A new brochure on reversed phase chromatography provides detailed information on the broad range of TSK-GEL reversed phase columns. Visit www.tosohbioscience.com to download the brochure or to order your personal copy.
Maximizing Cannabinoid Separation for Potency Testing with LC
April 7th 2025Researchers from the Department of Chemistry at Western Illinois University (Macomb, Illinois) conducted a study to optimize the separation of 18 cannabinoids for potency testing of hemp-based products, using liquid chromatography with a diode array detector (LC–DAD). As part of our monthlong series of articles pertaining to National Cannabis Awareness Month, LCGC International spoke to Liguo Song, the corresponding author of the paper stemming from this research, to discuss the study and its findings.
How Many Repetitions Do I Need? Caught Between Sound Statistics and Chromatographic Practice
April 7th 2025In chromatographic analysis, the number of repeated measurements is often limited due to time, cost, and sample availability constraints. It is therefore not uncommon for chromatographers to do a single measurement.
