MV-C18

MV-C18 presents the Vintage Chrom Maverick C18 reversed-phase HPLC columns, a general-purpose octadecyl phase. QC, R&D and teaching laboratories across the UK use this type of C18 column as the workhorse for drug assays, impurity profiling and routine quantitative methods.

Ninety-four listings cover 100 Å silica with C18 bonding in 3 µm, 5 µm and 10 µm particle sizes. Sample formats include 125 × 4 mm and 125 × 4.6 mm columns. Within the Maverick family the C18 variant delivers the strongest hydrophobic retention, with the C8, C4, CN and PH phases providing progressively different selectivity for method development.

For a new method, start with 5 µm particles in a 4.6 mm bore; move to 3 µm when resolution or speed must improve, or to 10 µm for preparative-scale loading. Lancetech Limited is glad to quote Maverick C18 columns or discuss which particle size fits your instrument.
