Chromolith

Revolutionary monolithic silica replaces particles in HPLC columns. A unique bimodal pore structure gives greatly improved separation performance and column back-pressure. Macropores dramatically reduce the column backpressure and allow the use of faster flow rates. Mesopores form the fine porous structure and provide the very large active surface area for high efficiency separations.

Chromolith HPLC columns a revolutionary technology wins worldwide acclaim


Scientists throughout the world have rapidly realized the revolutionary benefits made possible by the Chromolith HPLC column technology. Hundreds of scientific publications have been published.

Revolutionary monolithic silica replaces particles


Chromolith HPLC columns are not filled with minute silica particles like conventional packed HPLC columns, but consist of a single rod of high purity monolithic silica.
Mesopores: 13 nm Macropores: 2 m

Revolutionary bimodal pore structure


Chromolith silica has a porosity exceeding 80 % and a unique bimodal pore structure, which gives greatly improved chromatographic performance in terms of separation performance and column back-pressure. Macropores dramatically reduce the column back-pressure and allow the use of faster flow rates, thereby considerably reducing the analysis time. Mesopores form the fine porous structure and provide the very large active surface area for high efficiency separations.
SEM picture of a cross section from a silica monolith Total porosity > 80 %

Revolutionary good peak resolution, low column back-pressure


When compared with 5 m particulate columns of the same length, the column back-pressure with Chromolith HPLC columns is typically 4 times lower. The peak resolution however remains virtually unchanged.

Revolutionary the long lifetime and robustness


Monolithic Chromolith HPLC columns demonstrate very high mechanical stability and long operative lifetimes, in most cases far exceeding column lifetimes for particulate columns.
4

All benefits at a glance


Speed of analysis
Separations two times faster at half the column back-pressure compared to 5 m columns Higher sample throughput separations up to 9 times faster if required Fast column re-equilibration between analyses

Improved HPLC system security


Significantly increased column lifetime Reduced maintenance on HPLC pump and injector seals Reduced need for sample preparation as columns are very resistant to blocking (even with biological samples)

Column length no longer pressure limited


Very high peak resolution by column coupling

Easy to use
Chromolith columns cladded in PEEK are very easy-to-use and handle

Cost savings
Cost savings due to faster sample throughput (in USA typically $ 400 per day if analysis time is halved) can repay revalidation expenses (in USA typically $ 12,000) in about 6 weeks Cost saving due to significantly longer column lifetime

The speed and performance of particulate HPLC columns are limited by column pressure
Particulate HPLC columns are filled with particles, typically silica with 3 or 5 micron particle size. Very small particle size brings one advantage high separation performance. But small particle size also brings three limitations: high column back-pressure limits the speed of analysis and the column length particulate columns can easily block, thereby reducing lifetime lifetime of HPLC instrument and injector seals is reduced at high pressure

Acquity UPLC columns use even smaller particles (1.7 m) requiring ultra-high pressures. Here the user requires a special new instrument, in order to operate at these high pressures.

In Figure 1 the separation of ten antihistamine pharmaceutical standards is complete in less than 2.5 minutes and the column back-pressure at all times during the gradient is less than 120 bar (1740 psi ). In order to achieve the same separation on a 2 mm internal diameter sub-2m particle column with a UHPLC system, an operating pressure close to 1000 bar (14,500 psi ) is required.

Chromolith 3 mm HPLC columns are based on the same robust high purity monolithic silica with 2 m macropores and 130 mesopores as Chromolith 4.6 mm and Chromolith 10 mm i.d. columns. Chromolith 3 mm operates at lower flow rates than Chromolith 4.6 mm and methods are easily transferred.

Fast separations at lower flow rates


Figure 1 shows a typical fast separation of four compounds in less than two minutes using a Chromolith 4.6 mm internal diameter column at 4 mL /min. Figure 2 shows the same separation on Chromolith 3 mm i.d. column at just 1.7 mL /min. Both chromatograms show excellent column efficiency and peak resolution.

Two columns coupled together give extra high resolution


Chromolith 3 mm columns are easily coupled using the column coupler (1.51467.0001) to give columns 20 cm or longer as required. The result is shown in Figure 4 very high peak resolution at moderate pressure with flow rates between 1-1.5 mL /min.

Chromolith Performance 100 - 4.6 mm columns


For faster separations at lower back-pressure
Chromolith Performance is the ideal alternative to a 5 m particulate column
At 1 mL/min flow rate a chromatogram run on a Chromolith Performance column looks almost identical to the same chromatogram run on the corresponding particulate column. The striking difference is that the column back-pressure is typically 4 times lower compared to a 5 m column.

Three times faster analysis at lower column pressure


Chromolith Performance 100 - 4.6 mm

Simply by increasing the flow rate to 3 mL/min, the analysis is 3 times faster, the quality of the separation is unchanged and the column back-pressure remains lower than with the 5 m column. If even faster analysis is required, simply increase the flow rate further up to 9 times faster.

Easy method transfer from particulate to Chromolith HPLC columns


Method transfer from particulate to monolithic Chromolith columns is made easy as the chromatographic selectivity of Chromolith columns is very similar to that of many modern particulate HPLC columns (e.g. Purospher). Chromolith columns are now included in the US Pharmacopoeia in the L1, L3 and L7 categories.

Chromolith Validation Kit For correct method validation, it is essential to assess all possible sources of variations. To assist the validation process, the Chromolith Validation Kit includes three columns from three different production batches.

Chromolith Column Coupler


Very high efficiency separations at moderate pressure
Column Coupler

Longer columns give greatly improved peak resolution


Using the Chromolith column coupler, longer columns are readily available, giving high separation performance at a fraction of the back-pressure that 5 m particles generate.

Connecting ten 100 mm columns can give column efficiency exceeding 80,000 theoretical plates. Connecting four 100 mm columns will double the peak resolution.

A characteristic of all Chromolith columns
Long column lifetime and high resistance to column blockage reduce costs per analysis and enhance data integrity
Chromolith HPLC columns have demonstrated immense robustness and set a new standard for long column lifetime. The rigid monolithic silica skeleton with 2 m macropores is the reason for this improved performance. The diagrams show the results of a stability test with 3,300 injections and 50,000 column volumes of mobile phase.
