ACE 90A – 100A

The unique design of the ACE CN-ES incorporates an Extended Spacer alkyl chain between the silica surface and CN group that gives extra phase stability in mobile phase eluents (pH 2 - pH 8). The extended spacer also provides enhanced hydrophobicity to the phase.

• New stationary phase technology for UHPLC and HPLC separations
• Alternative polar selectivity for method development
• High efficiency 2μm, 3μm, 5μm and 10μm particles
• Ultra-inert for maximum performance and reproducibility

• Phase design
• Eydrophobicity
• Enhanced selectivity
• Alt selectivity

Phase design:

• ACE Excel CN-ES combines a polar terminal CN group with an extended spacer.
• ACE Excel CN-ES extended spacer technology additionally provides increased column lifetime compared to traditional CN bonded phases with short alkyl spacer.

Enhanced hydrophobicity

• ACE Excel CN-ES offers increased hydrophobicity (an important mechanisms for separation in reversed-phase LC) compared to traditional CN bonded phases whilst maintaining dipole interactions.
• Traditional CN phases show a marked reduction in retention due to the short alkyl spacer group.

Separation of neutral compounds under RP condition

Enhanced selectivity

• For multi-ring steroidal mixtures, the ACE Excel CN-ES provides enhanced selectivity due to a combination of hydrophobicity and dipole-dipole interactions to achieve full separation and resolution.

Steroids by UHPLC

Alternative selectivity

• ACE CN-ES demonstrates multiple modes of interaction that include hydrophobicity and dipole-dipole mechanisms between the analytes and the stationary phase to achieve full separation and resolution.
• The individual ACE Excel C18 or ACE Excel CN phases do not achieve full separation under these conditions.
