ChromX® C30

ChromX® C30 is a specialized long-chain reverse-phase HPLC column engineered with a 30-carbon alkyl stationary phase that delivers exceptional lipophilicity and hydrophobic interaction for superior separation of carotenoids, structural isomers, and fat-soluble compounds. This dedicated column excels in the analysis of blood samples, food matrices, and natural extracts, offering unique selectivity for both polar and non-polar carotene geometrical isomers including cis and trans β-carotene, lutein, xanthophyll isomers, and zeaxanthin—all achievable under the same mobile phase conditions. With its 18% carbon load, 100Å pore size, and 330 m²/g surface area, the ChromX® C30 provides excellent separation of hydrophobic, long-chain structural isomers and fat-soluble substances such as Vitamin E, making it the ideal choice for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food analysis applications. Available in particle sizes of 3μm, 5μm, and 10μm across multiple dimensions (ranging from 50mm to 300mm length and 2.1mm to 4.6mm I.D.), this fully endcapped column operates reliably within a pH range of 2-10 and ensures consistent, reproducible results for complex carotenoid separations where standard C18 columns fall short.
