WIDE PH VERSION
NOW AVAILABLE!
Changing the pH of a mobile phase is a powerful tool to obtain significant changes in the selectivity of a reversed-phase
HPLC separation. Ionizable compounds, meaning acidic, basic or zwitterionic analytes will show extreme changes in retention
depending on their pKa and pH of the mobile phase. Therefore, a wide pH range of the HPLC equipment offers additional
possibilities for HPLC method optimization by exploiting selectivity changes at low, intermediate and high pH.
