CHROMABOND® HR-XCW – SPE Cartridges

Weak Carboxylic Acid-Modified Polymeric Cation Exchanger for SPE

This innovative SPE phase is a state-of-the-art spherical polymer and is appropriate for a broad spectrum of applications. HR-X is especially suitable for the enrichment of pharmaceuticals from biological matrices and has ideal flow properties due to its low content of particulate matter.

Its optimized pore structure and high specific surface allow for high loadability and outstanding elution properties, low solvent consumption, and rapid economical analyses. High-purity adsorber material allows the highest reproducibility with extremely low blind values and reliable analyses at ultra-trace levels. Method adaptation for new batches is not necessary.
