The Role of Porous Graphitic Carbon in HPLC

Author(s)Paul Ross

Guest author Paul Ross explains why porous graphite carbon may provide a solution to certain specific challenges in the retention and separation of very polar analytes and structurally similar compounds.

Retention of polar compounds and the separation of closely related compounds have become two very challenging areas for chromatographers today. Often the solution seems to lie beyond the reach of traditional silica-based stationary phases. In this "Column Watch" installment, guest author Paul Ross reviews the role of graphite carbon as a means of solving these problem separations.
