A Novel Bonding Technique (patent pending) An unique trifunctional silyl-reagent was developed as shown in Fig.. This silyl-reagent can bond with any silanol groups on silica surface as shown in Fig. because it can expand and contract by itself. This technique can make residual silanol groups on C8 stationary phase to be the least amount. Finally an end-capping was done with trimethylsilyl-reagent reagent (TMS).

Peak shape of amitriptyline was compared under kinds of conditions such as methanol/phosphate buffer/0 ºC, methanol/phosphate buffer/ ºC and acetonitrile/phosphate buffer/0 ºC. Under methanol/phosphate buffer/0 ºC conditions which is the most common among HPLC manufacturers, good peak shape was obtained for all columns. There were little difference of a peak shape. Under acetonitrile/phosphate buffer/0 ºC, however, Sunniest columns showed a symmetrical peak, while column A and B C8 showed a terribly tailing peak., RP-AQUA and C8 columns allow to use a wide range of mobile phase without peak tailing because of extremely low content of residual silanol groups on the stationary phase.

Sodium borate is used as a alkaline standard solution for ph meter, so that its buffer capacity is high. Elevated temperature of 0 ºC makes column life be one third. When column is used at 0 ºC, column life becomes,000 hours. ther company shows stability test at ambient (room temperature). If room temperature is ºC, column life at room temperature ( ºC) is sixteen times longer than that at 0 ºC. is enough stable even if it is used under ph 0 condition. Regarding stability under basic ph condition, there is little C8 column like except for hybrid type C8. It is considered that our end-capping technique leads high stability. can be used at the ph range from. to 0. can be used at the ph range from. to 9.

Reproducibility of retention under 00% aqueous conditions C8 and C8 reversed phases exhibit decreased and poorly reproducible retention under more than 98% aqueous conditions as shown in Fig.. This problem traditionally has been explained as being the result of ligand collapse or a matting effect. Nagae - ascertained, however, that the mobile phase was being expelled from the pores of the packing material under 00% aqueous mobile phase conditions, as Fig. shows. When the surface of packing materials isn t wet by water, water used as a mobile phase expels from the pore of the packing material by capillarity. This is a reason why reproducibility in retention is low under 00% aqueous conditions. Reversely pressure around the packing material makes water permeate into the pore of the packing material to overcome a force worked by capillarity. In other words, the surface of a reversed phase like C8 isn t wet by water anytime even if water permeates into the pore of the packing material or not. So it is wrong that we say dewetting when water expel from the pore. Saying Depermetating is more suitable. is a reversed stationary phase, so that it is not wet with water. However the contact angle of water on the surface of is less than that of a conventional C8. Expelling force (pressure) acted by capillarity on is less than atmospheric pressure. So, shows reproducible retention under 00% aqueous conditions. After stopping pump for hour N. Nagae, T. Enami and S. Doshi, LC/GC North America ctober 00.
