The PLRP-S family of products consists of a range of pore sizes and particle sizes, all with identical chemistry and fundamental adsorptive characteristics. The particles are inherently hydrophobic so there is no bonded phase, alkyl ligand required for reversed-phase separations. This gives a highly reproducible material that is free from silanols and heavy metal ions. Within the extensive product range are columns suitable for analytical separations, and preparative purifications. In addition, process columns can be packed with the bulk media.
