Due to their particular structure, the puriFLash® Monolith columns provide a great help for all the points on which a balance must be implemented.

The purification must be as fast as possible so as not to slow down the production process, which is why puriFlash® Monolith columns are essential for all purifications. They will save time for this important step, up to 80% less time.

 

What is a puriFlash® monolith column?

Interchim® Peptides monolith column is a pre-packed column with the novel silica gel for reversed-phase liquid chromatography that will permit high-speed processing only with a medium to low back pressure.

 

How puriFlash® monolith columns can provide best results?

In the pores of this monolith, there are two structures (Macro and micro pores), which allow a faster and deeper diffusion of the solvent inside the particles. That conduces to a more effective purification, especially of macromolecules such as peptides, with an extremely low pressure.

This structure makes it possible to work at flow rates 4 to 5 times greater than the optimum flow rate, and with a loss of resolution much less than conventional silica.

 

1. Less pressure

Save time for purification by increasing the flow-rate for your methods.
Loss of resolution will be low.

Compared to columns filled with a conventional silica, it can be seen that columns filled with a monolithic phase have a smaller sample diffusion band.

It becomes easier to purify polar compounds. Indeed, the weak broadening of the compound bands allows a better separation for close retention time compounds.

To summarize the advantages of choosing Monolith puriFlash® columns :

  • Low pressure. (It is possible to use solvents that generally generate high pressure)
  • Increase productivity by using higher flow rates during purifications.
  • Low diffusion of the sample in the column, allowing to separate compounds of close retention time.
