Agilent Poroshell 300SB-C18 High Velocity Chromatography Technical Note
This document introduces Poroshell technology, a superficially porous silica-micrasphere packing designed for high-velocity separations of biomacromolecules. The innovation allows for stable, high-resolution gradient chromatography of proteins, polypeptides, and nucleic acids at speeds up to 400 times faster than conventional high-performance separations without loss of resolution.
The text details the structure of the Poroshell particle, which features a solid silica core with a thin porous silica shell. It highlights the use of StableBond C18 stationary phase, which is stable at low pH and high temperatures, enabling rapid analysis. The document provides examples of protein separations and DNA fragment analysis, demonstrating significant reductions in runtime and back pressure compared to totally porous particles.
