Description
EC 4/3 NUCLEOSIL 100-3 C18 HD is an HPLC guard column measuring 4 mm in length with a 3 mm internal diameter, filled with NUCLEOSIL 100-3 C18 HD stationary phase for reverse-phase chromatography. Supplied in a pack of three cartridges, the EC 4/3 format is designed for analytical main columns with internal diameters of 3 mm, 4 mm or 4,6 mm. A Column Protection System guard column holder (REF 718966) is required to mount the cartridge in the flow path ahead of the main column. This precolumn comes from manufacturer Macherey-Nagel and follows the NUCLEOSIL C18 HD chemistry indicated in the product designation, suited to methods that specify a high-density C18 phase on a 3 µm-class NUCLEOSIL 100 support. The short 4 mm bed and 3 mm ID geometry keep the protective segment compact within standard HPLC plumbing. Laboratories can use these cartridges as replaceable guard elements for continuous reverse-phase work on matching column diameters. The three-piece pack supports orderly stock rotation and timely cartridge replacement during routine analytical sequences.
This article is part of HPLC columns, in HPLC columns & accessories.

Questions about EC 4/3 NUCLEOSIL 100-3 C18 HD
What is this article?
EC 4/3 NUCLEOSIL 100-3 C18 HD is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Macherey-Nagel for laboratory use. It sits in HPLC guard columns, inside HPLC columns & accessories, in Chromatography equipment.
A guard column is a short column of the same phase as the analytical column, placed in front of it to catch particles and compounds that would stick forever. It is meant to be replaced. A guard of a different phase changes the separation. The holder and the cartridge are often separate parts.
An HPLC column is a tube packed, or coated, with a stationary phase. The sample is carried through it by a liquid, and the compounds leave at different times. The phase, the particle size, the length and the internal diameter decide the separation. A guard column is a short sacrificial piece in front of the analytical column. Fittings and tubing have a bore that either preserves the peak or smears it. Compound names follow IUPAC. Data are on PubChem. Method grades often cite the European Pharmacopoeia or USP.
