Thermo Scientific Acclaim Surfactant HPLC Columns
The Thermo Scientific Acclaim Surfactant HPLC columns are the first generation high-efficiency, silica-based columns designed specifically for separating a wide variety of surfactants, including anionic, cationic, nonionic, ethoxylated and amphoteric surfactants using UV, ELSD or RI detection. The novel surface chemistry creates a unique polarity that offers significantly improved resolution for individual oligomers of ethoxylated surfactants compared with conventional C18 columns.
Surfactants are widely used in industrial, agricultural, and pharmaceutical markets, in products as diverse as pesticides, detergent powders, petroleum products, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. The Acclaim Surfactant column was designed specifically for HPLC separation of these surfactants.
- Ideal selectivity for separation of anionic, nonionic, cationic and amphoteric surfactants
- Resistant to dewetting under highly aqueous mobile phase conditions
- Retains highly hydrophilic compounds, such as hydrotropes
- Excellent peak shapes, especially for cationic surfactants
- Improved resolution for ethoxylated surfactants
- Rugged separations under a variety of conditions
- Suitable for use with UV, ELSD or RI detection
- For MS and CAD detection it is recommended to use the Acclaim Surfactant Plus column
