The Right Choice for HPLC Columns with Optimal Peak Performance

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is one of the most important analytical techniques across the life sciences. Here, components in a chemical mixture are separated, purified, identified, and quantified. Pharmaceutical, toxicology, and so many other industry segments critically depend on HPLC data to support their insights and next steps.

When your lab faces pressure to deliver high-quality data, put your trust in a wide variety of HPLC column types from the decades-long leader in chromatography columns.

Hamilton HPLC Column Benefits

  • Full range of pH stability

    Our columns are exceptionally durable because of their highly cross-linked polymeric resins, which prevent shrinkage and swelling. Compared to some silica columns, these polymeric columns can be operated at a full range of pH 1 –13.

  • Your choice for challenging separations

    Options include pore & particle size, pH stability, temperature resistance over 100 ºC, & chemistries to match analytes.

  • Readily Scale-up

    We manufacture our own resins. Columns are available in diverse dimensions and packed with a variety of particle sizes. This allows you to optimize sample scale-up from analytical to purification at semi-preparative or preparative scale.

HPLC Columns

Reversed Phase

Hamilton reversed-phase HPLC columns combine the best characteristics of silica-based and polymeric columns to arrive at a product that is highly inert and long-lasting.

HPLC Columns

Anion Exchange

In anion exchange chromatography, the stationary bed has an ionically positive (+) charged surface while the sample ions are of negative (-) charge. The stronger the negative charge on the sample, the stronger it will be attracted to the positive charge on the stationary phase.

HPLC Columns

Cation Exchange

In cation exchange chromatography, the stationary bed has an ionically negative (-) charged surface while the sample ions are of positive (+) charge. This technique is used almost exclusively with ionic or ionizable samples.

HPLC Columns

Ion Exclusion

Ion exclusion chromatography is an alternative to ion exchange chromatography in which ionized samples are excluded from the pores of the support and elute first, while the weakly ionized and non-ionic compounds elute later.

What are HPLC Columns?

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), is an analytical technique in chemistry used to separate, purify, identify, and quantify each component in a chemical mixture. In HPLC systems, high-pressure pumps force solvents containing a chemical sample mixture through a metal or polymer plastic tube that is filled with a stationary phase in the form of small, spherical particles (typically less than 100 µm in diameter). Each chemical analyte of the sample mixture interacts differently with the stationary particles and flows through the column at different rates of speed, passing through a detector at the end of the column at different times where they are recorded.

Chromatography columns are most commonly employed in the scientific fields of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, environmental, toxicology, food and beverage, etc. Common uses of HPLC include detecting environmental contaminants in soil and groundwater, production of medications, purification of DNA, etc.
