Discovery® HPLC Columns for Fast LC-MS Analysis

LC-MS Columns

The Discovery LC-MS line offers short length columns for fast LC-MS analysis that are rugged and dependable. Supelco offers a robust product that withstands column shock due to fast gradient turnaround times. Columns installed on LC-MS instruments are typically operated using gradients of 5%-95% organic with gradient cycle times of 2-3 minutes. Our column lifetime is maximized through the use of stable bonding chemistry, high purity silica and optimal proprietary packing procedures.

The Discovery line of HPLC columns offers excellent retentivity, selectivity and reproducibility for optimal results. LC-MS formats are now available with Discovery C18, C8, Cyano and HS F5 phases.

Discovery LC-MS Columns Deliver:

High Speed Separations

Discovery LC-MS columns can shorten analysis times to less than 4 minutes for the study of antibiotics.

Mechanical Stability via Fast Gradient Testing

The Supelco Discovery LC-MS HPLC columns are rigorously tested in order to provide the highest mechanical stability under repeated gradient cycles. Table 1 shows of the impact on column efficiency, peak shape, retention times and back pressure after 1000 cycles of a 2-minute rapid (ballistic) gradient with 1-minute equilibration period.

There is no loss of column efficiency or increase in tailing or column backpressure, and no change in retention time. See Table 2 for details of testing.

Discovery C18 Bleed Analysis

Mass spectral responses from background ions often inhibit both qualitative and quantitative analysis in LC-MS experiments. Common sources of background ions include the solvents, interface or system contamination, and HPLC column bleed. The presence of background ions can be reduced by using high quality solvents such as LC-MS, maintaining a clean LC-MS system, and by using high quality HPLC stationary phases from Supelco.

Supelco utilizes technologically advanced bonding chemistry and highly purified silica to minimize the potential for column bleed.

LC-MS Bleed Analysis

The Total Ion Chromatogram (TIC) shown in the top of Figure 4 shows the result from an MS detector of one gradient cycle with a Discovery C18, 2 cm x 2.0 mm ID column in-line. The two selective ion chromatograms (SIC) in the bottom of Figure 4 show the mass spectrum taken from the shaded region of the TIC (at the high organic content point in the gradient). The bottom right SIC shows that the Discovery C18 column does not introduce any additional masses that were not in the blank run (bottom left SIC). The Discovery C18 column exhibits low bleed for LC-MS analyses.
