Product Information
Column Specifications
Separation Property
The COSMOSIL 5C18-MS-II is a well-balanced column with better basic performance such as sharper peaks of basic compounds and chelating compounds, large hydrophobic interaction, low analytical pressure, and high theoretical plate number. The COSMOSIL 5C18-MS-II is first-choice column for reversed phase chromatography.

Analysis of Basic Compounds and Metal Coordination Compounds
The COSMOSIL 5C18-MS-II column, taking advantage of a new end-capping treatment, can replace the original COSMOSIL C18 (ODS) column. A new end-capping treatment with polar groups for "shield effect" has significantly improved peak shape for basic compounds. Ultra pure silica gel with low trace-metal content is used for COSMOSIL columns; thus the columns provide excellent peak shapes for chelating compounds.

High Reproducibility
The strict quality control system of Nacalai Tesque supports the customers with an individual “Inspection Report” which accompanies each and every COSMOSIL and COSMOGEL Packed Column (except guard columns) and an additional “Certificate of Analysis”for the COSMOSIL 5C18-MS-II (4.6 mm I.D. x 150 mm and 4.6 mm I.D. x 250 mm).

Washing method | 1. Remove buffer, salts and/or acid from column: wash for 10-15 min. using the mobile phase last used, without buffer, salts or acid. For example, if your mobile phase was 50:50 methanol/20 mmol/l phosphate buffer, wash with 50:50 methanol/water. 2. (If you used a buffer, always do step 1 first!) Remove adsorbed compounds and fix unstable baselines by washing with methanol and/or THF. |
|||||||
Storage conditions | Short-term (up to a week): Remove buffer, salts and/or acid from column: wash for 10-15 min. using the mobile phase last used, without buffer, salts or acid. For example, if your mobile phase was 50:50 methanol/20 mmol/l phosphate buffer, wash with 50:50 methanol/water. Long-term: Remove buffer, salts and/or acid from column: wash for 10-15 min. using the mobile phase last used, without buffer, salts or acid. Then, replace the solvent with 70% methanol or acetonitrile : 30% water. In either case, tightly plug the column, and store in a cool and dry place. |
|||||||
Usable pH range | pH 2-10 (pH 2-7.5 recommended) |
|||||||
Max. pressure | 20MPa | 15MPa | ||||||
Temperature range | The maximum usable temperature is 60°C. However. for regular use, please use at a constant temperature between 20°C and 50°C. | |||||||
Usable solvents | Any solvent that will not dissolve the silica gel (such as alkaline solutions) or cleave the stationary phase (such as very acidic solutions) is usable. Note: For solvents with high viscosity, please watch the system pressure and keep it below 20 MPa. Also, please wash the column after using acidic mobile phases or solvents with high freezing points. |
|||||||
Other instructions | - Buffer concentration is usually sufficient at 0.005 - 0.02 mol/L. - Always filter mobile phases using a 0.5 um or finer filter before use. - Reproducibility may worsen when using a mobile phase that is more than 90% water. |
