The Avantor® ACE® Excel® C18-AR phase utilises a specially developed ligand combining a C18 chain with integral phenyl functionality, thus combining the benefits of both C18 and phenyl characteristics into a single phase. This can be used for ‘standard’ C18 column separations, but is additionally recommended for separations that involve compounds containing aromatic functionality.

• Ideal for a wide range of analytes differing in hydrophobicity
• Wide range of particle sizes (1,7 to 5 µm) and complementary phases
• Ultra low bleed to ensure LC/MS compatibility
• Suitable for use with 100% aqueous mobile phases
• Method validation kits contain three different batches of the same phase - available on request
