YMC-Triart phases are based on a multi-layered hybrid material, manufactured using innovative micro-reactor
technology. The combination of this layered hybrid particle with the precise microreactor granulation and the
multi-stage endcapping procedures, produces a versatile material with outstanding chemical and physical durability,
plus excellent chromatographic performance with acidic, basic and neutral compounds.

Features of YMC-Triart
• Homogeneous and uniform particles. Use of microreactor technology produces homogeneous and uniform particles that result in low operating
pressure and reproducible surface modification, leading to excellent column-to-column and lot-to-lot reproducibility.
• Multi-stage endcapping. YMC-Triart uses an innovative endcapping procedure for surface modification. Using a stepwise, multi-stage process with
a number of compounds with different reactivities, the maximum number of silanols can be capped.
• Balanced hydrophobicity. YMC-Triart exhibits a balanced hydrophobicity, making it more retentive than other hybrids.
• Excellent durability. YMC-Triart C18 and C8 show excellent chemical stability. Even at high pH (up to pH 12) or high temperature conditions
(up to 70°C), the column lifetime is greater than for conventional C18 and C8 columns.

• Method transfer between HPLC ↔ UHPLC. YMC-Triart phases provide matching chromatographic behaviour for all particle sizes. This ensures
identical selectivity and excellent peak shape for basic compounds for all particle sizes. YMC-Triart allows predictable scale-up from UHPLC to
conventional HPLC and even to semi-preparative LC and vice versa. Figure 1 illustrates method transfer from a 5μm, 150 x 2.0mm YMC-Triart C18
to a 1.9μm, 50 x 2.0mm column. Resolution is maintained but run time has been decreased from 55mins to 6mins.

Features of YMC-Triart (continued)
• Improvement of loadability. YMC-Triart C18 can tolerate larger injection volumes containing strong solvents (eg. acetonitrile), whilst maintaining
better peak shape than traditional silica-based columns. This can be important for difficult to solubilise samples that need higher concentrations of
organic solvent for solubilisation prior to analysis. Figure 2 illustrates the influence of injection volume on peak shapes.
• LC-MS compatibility. Extremely low levels of column bleed lead to reduced background noise and hence lower levels of detection. In Figure 3, no
bleed is observed in the test of total ion current measured by LC-MS with blank (no column) or with YMC-Triart C18.

It is recommended to use at least 10% organic solvent composition near the pH limits and over 50% at pH levels above pH 9.0 to preserve column lifetimes
Phases in the YMC ProFamily are ideal for applications
in both the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
ProC18RS is specifically designed for improved retention
of non-polar, hydrophobic compounds. The high carbon
load and surface area (510m2/g) and extended pH
stability provide further selectivity options for demanding
separations, including LC-MS and method development.
The enhanced steric selectivity of this phase enables
positional isomers to be separated. Hydrosphere C18
contains a hydrophilic C18 surface for enhanced polar
selectivity and operation under 100% aqueous eluent
conditions. Typical applications include nucleic acid bases,
nucleotides, organic acids, catecholamines, vitamins etc.

• ProC18 and Hydrosphere C18 phases
• Same selectivity as the corresponding 3 and 5μm phases
• Use with UHPLC or conventional HPLC systems
• Fully downscalable from 3 and 5μm to 2μm
The YMC-UltraHT ProC18 and Hydrosphere C18 bonded phases are based on high efficiency 2μm spherical silica particles, of the same pore size, surface
area and carbon content as the equivalent 3 and 5μm products (see page 268). They are specifically designed for high speed and high throughput analyses
in various fields including pharmaceuticals, foods and environmentals. YMC-UltraHT columns exhibit low pressure drop and high flow rates can be
achieved without generating excessive back pressure and without the need for specialised equipment.

YMC ‘Classical’ Phases
YMC manufacture a wide range of ‘classical’ and speciality bonded phases for reversed-phase, normal-phase and HILIC methods. The traditional
ODS-A, ODS-AL, ODS-AM and ODS-AQ phases are well documented in the scientific literature. The series of three J’sphere phases offers alternative
hydrophobicities due to variation in degree of ODS substitution. The Polyamine ll material is a mixed secondary and tertiary amino derivative, covalently
bonded onto 5μm particle size silica. This phase offers increased lifetime and alternative selectivity for carbohydrate applications compared with
conventional primary amino materials. The PVA-SIL material is prepared by bonding the silica support with a monomolecular polymer coating of vinyl
alcohol. It offers an excellent alternative selectivity to silica and can be used over a wider pH range.

YMC C18 ODS-A
This phase is the traditional workhorse for most reversed-phase applications. Endcapping is exhaustive and this greatly reduces the activity of silanol
groups and minimises non-specific secondary interactions.
YMC C18 ODS-AM
YMC C18 ODS-AM is a high specification C18 material produced to meet the stringent demands for validated analytical HPLC processes. All columns
have to pass additional tests to meet the narrow quality specifications range with regards to selectivity pattern, column resolution, absolute retention and
peak symmetry.
LC Columns – YMC
YMC ‘Classical’ Phases (continued)
YMC C18 ODS-AL
This phase is a non-endcapped ODS. Non-endcapping imparts some additional secondary normal-phase adsorption interaction characteristics.
YMC ODS-AQ
ODS-AQ differs from traditional C18 phases in that after initial octadecylsilyl bonding, the material is treated to produce a surface that can be wetted with
polar eluents. In highly aqueous eluents ODS-AQ gives longer retention times for polar compounds than conventionally endcapped ODS packings.
YMC Polymer C18
Polymer C18 is a reversed-phase material which provides a broad range of solvent choices over a pH range of 2 – 13, due to its resistance to shrinking
and swelling. It consists of a highly cross-linked spherical hydrophilic methacrylate polymer which is functionalised with C18 groups. Polymer C18
provides similar, but not identical, selectivity to standard silica-based ODS materials. It has slightly greater retention for aromatic compounds than even
highly retentive ODS columns. It is significantly less retentive than styrene/divinylbenzene based HPLC columns.
YMCbasic
YMCbasic is an early base deactivated phase, widely used for the analysis of pharmaceutical and other basic compounds. The phase consists of
monomerically bonded alkyl chains with different chain lengths of C8 and smaller, leading to high surface coverage. Its selectivity is similar to that
expected for conventionally endcapped C8 reversed-phase media.
YMC J’sphere
In the YMC J’sphere series of phases, instead of varying the alkyl group chain length in order to produce phases of different polarity, the surface coverage
of C18 is varied to produce three phases of graduated hydrophobicity and hydrogen bonding characteristics. The stepwise decrease of hydrophobicity in
the J’sphere ODS-H80, M80 and L80 series is accompanied by a corresponding increase in the H-bonding capacity.
YMC Carotenoid
The YMC Carotenoid (C30) phase is very lipophilic with exceptional selectivity towards isomeric structures. The C30 ligands provide sufficient phase
thickness to enhance interaction with long chained molecules. Geometrical and positional isomers of conjugated double bond systems can be recognised
and resolved. The phase is particularly suited for the separation of carotenoids (see Figure 7). Other potential applications include the separation of
prostaglandins and leukotrienes.

For 4.6mm i.d. analytical columns, the universal holder XPGCH-Q1 is required for 10mm length guard cartridges and XPGCH-Q2 for 20mm length guard
cartridges (see figure 8). For 1.0 to 4.0mm i.d. guard cartridges, the customer can choose between this universal holder or an integral (direct connect)
holder XPGCS-Q1 for 10mm length cartridges and XPGCS-Q2 for 20mm length guard cartridges (see figure 9). The integral holder replaces the inlet
endfitting on the column with a hand-tightened holder which allows for a very low dead volume connection.
