Agilent Zorbax SB-C3 Reversed-Phase Column Datasheet
The Agilent Zorbax SB-C3 is a microparticulate column packing designed for reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). It utilizes a StableBond stationary phase made by chemically bonding a sterically protected isopropyl phase to high-purity Zorbax porous-silica microspheres. This design reduces strong adsorption of basic compounds and offers enhanced chemical stability against aggressive mobile phases, such as those with low pH or high ionic strength.

Questions answered in these manuals
Is the Zorbax SB-C3 column compatible with aggressive mobile phases?
Yes, it is particularly well suited for use with aggressive mobile phases such as those with pH <2, high ionic strength, or ion-pair additives due to the steric protection of the bonded phase.
What is the recommended storage solvent for the Zorbax SB-C3 column?
Long term storage should be in a pure organic solvent, preferably an aprotic liquid such as 100% acetonitrile.
What is the maximum operating pressure for the ZORBAX SB-C3 column?
The column supports operation up to 600 bar (9,000 psi).

Can the ZORBAX SB-C3 column be used with basic compounds?
Yes, it is well-suited for basic, neutral, or acidic samples due to its special silica support that reduces strong adsorption of basic compounds.
