Guard Column Cartridges, NP Amino, 3um, 100A. 4.0mm ID x 10mm Length. Cogent Brand. 5/PK.
Additional Information:
Cogent NP Amino™ Guard Column Cartridges are designed to protect valuable analytical columns from particulates, contaminants, and strongly retained compounds that can reduce column performance and shorten column lifetime. Packed with the same NP Amino™ stationary phase used in Cogent analytical columns, these cartridges help maintain method consistency while extending analytical column service life. The stationary phase consists of a three-carbon propyl ligand with a terminal amino functional group bonded to ultra-high purity silica, providing the selectivity associated with USP L8 chemistry for Normal Phase and HILIC applications.
68340-PG2 contains five guard column cartridges packed with 3 µm NP Amino™ particles featuring a 100 Å pore size in a 4.0 mm ID x 10 mm format. Designed specifically to protect 3.0 mm, 4.0 mm, and 4.6 mm ID NP Amino analytical columns, these guard cartridges capture particulates and contaminants before they reach the analytical column bed. The cartridges are constructed with stainless steel tubes, stainless steel frits, and durable PEEK frit caps to provide reliable chromatographic performance and long service life.
These guard cartridges are particularly useful for sugar analysis, carbohydrate separations, organic acid analysis, HILIC methods, Normal Phase chromatography, pharmaceutical testing, and routine analytical workflows. Regular replacement of guard cartridges can help preserve analytical column efficiency, retention reproducibility, peak shape, and resolution while reducing analytical column replacement costs.
