Which SUMICHIRAL phases support reversed phase operation?

OA-2500, OA-3000 series, OA-5000, OA-6000, OA-6100, OA-7000, OA-7700 and OA-8000 include reversed-phase or non-aqueous reversed-phase applicability depending on the method.

Which phases are suitable for amino acids?

OA-5000, OA-6000 and OA-6100 series are commonly selected for amino acids, hydroxy acids, amino alcohols and hydrophilic amino acid related compounds.

Which phases are used for profen drugs?

OA-2500 and OA-3300 are commonly considered for profen-type acidic chiral drugs depending on sample chemistry and mobile phase conditions.

What is elution order inversion?

Some SUMICHIRAL phases have related inverted-type columns that can reverse enantiomer elution order, improving impurity quantitation and preparative collection strategies.

Are guard columns available?

Standard 4.0 mm × 10 mm configurations are included for many phase families and are useful for protecting analytical columns.

Can these columns be used for LC-MS?

OA-2500 and OA-3000 series are noted for LC-MS applicability where suitable volatile mobile phase systems are used.

How do I select a phase?

Start with the compound functional group, acidity/basicity, required mode, and known application class. The USP and phase listing pages help shortlist phases.
