Bulk packings

Silica based packing materials
YMC*GEL / YMC*GEL HG

YMC*GEL silica-based HPLC preparative packing materials offer a wide range of functional groups, from reversed phase and normal phase to particle sizes ranging from high-resolution 3 um materials to 150 um materials for open-column chromatography. YMC*GEL HG uses high-density, high-strength silica gel, so particles do not break even after repeated packing and unpacking. High-performance and cost-effective YMC*GEL / YMC*GEL HG packing materials are widely used both in Japan and overseas.

Points
  • Wide functional group and particle-size lineup
  • High-density silica gel with excellent mechanical strength (YMC*GEL HG)
  • Suitable for large-scale preparative purification using dynamic axial compression HPLC columns
  • Packing materials for open-column chromatography are also available
Product Features

Excellent mechanical strength (YMC*GEL HG)

YMC*GEL HG uses high-density silica gel with excellent mechanical strength. Even after more than ten repacking cycles into dynamic axial compression columns, particle breakage and column-pressure increase are not observed, allowing repeated use.

Suitable for peptide separation such as insulin

YMC*GEL / YMC*GEL HG offers a wide range of functional groups, including wide-pore packing materials, and is suitable for separating peptides such as insulin and proteins. Because YMC*GEL HG has selectivity equivalent to analytical YMC-Pack columns, scale-up from analysis to preparative purification is straightforward.
