Hi-Purit™ Diol 40-75µm Flash Cartridges are typically used in chromatography, particularly flash chromatography.
Flash Chromatography:
These cartridges are packed with diol-functionalized silica gel particles sized 40-75 micrometers, which makes them ideal for flash chromatography — a rapid form of preparative chromatography used to separate mixtures of compounds.
Purification of Polar Compounds:
Diol stationary phases are moderately polar, so these cartridges are well-suited for purifying polar to moderately polar compounds where silica gel alone may not offer optimal separation.
Normal Phase Chromatography:
They are often used in normal phase mode where nonpolar solvents are the mobile phase and the stationary phase retains polar analytes through hydrogen bonding and dipole-dipole interactions.
Sample Cleanup and Isolation:
Useful for isolating target molecules from complex reaction mixtures or natural products due to their selective retention characteristics.
