Hydrophobicity and surface polarity parameters of Shiseido columns

 

 

 

 The Birth of UG

 

UG stands for "Ultra Grade." The packing material is produced from high-purity silica with fine polymer coating achieved by Shiseido's unique surface treatment technology. The UG series includes types of various different functional groups to make full use of excellent separation characteristics.

 

 

 Low-polarity UG Series

 

The non-polar surface allows quick and sharp elution of polar compounds. Since various functional groups are supported, the retention and selectivity can be varied by replacing the column, even under the same mobile phase. The UG80, the type of large retention and high loadability, is also available, suited for preparative use, too.
