Agilent mRP-C18 Macroporous Reversed-Phase C18 Column Datasheet
The Agilent mRP-C18 column is a unique silica-based C18 packing designed specifically for the separation of complex protein mixtures. It features high protein recoveries, consistent reproducibility, and enhanced resolution compared to conventional silica-based RP HPLC columns. The column utilizes ultrapure, less acidic 5-um silica particles packed in PEEK hardware to minimize protein adsorption.
This document provides operational guidelines, safety considerations, and recommended applications for the mRP-C18 column. It details sample preparation methods for protein fractionation and desalting, including specific gradient conditions and temperature settings. The datasheet also includes ordering information for the 4.6 mm id x 50 mm column.
