ZORBAX Eclipse PAH columns are designed for the high-efficiency separation of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. The columns can be used for PAH separations as well as other compounds that require high shape selectivity. The columns utilize a polymeric C18 bonding phase that provides high selectivity and are built on a specially prepared, ultra-high purity ZORBAX Rx-SIL porous support. These columns can be used for a variety of applications and are compatible with a pH range of 2 to 8.
The Agilent ZORBAX Eclipse PAH column is a polymeric C18 bonded phase column designed for the high-efficiency separation of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). It utilizes an improved ultra-high purity silica support to reduce strong adsorption of basic and highly polar compounds. The columns are tested with a mixture of 16 PAHs to verify performance.

Long-term storage should be in a pure organic solvent, preferably an aprotic liquid such as 100% acetonitrile.
Flush the column with stronger solvents like 100% acetonitrile, methanol, or a mixture of dichloromethane and methanol.
