Our portfolio of Solid Phase Extraction Trapping Columns
All our Trapping Columns are designed to accommodate sample injection volumes in the typical range of 1-50 µL, while ensuring optimal mobile phase flow rates of 10-200 nL/min during analytical separation.
These columns are supplied without connectors. Within our Deans Column Switching System, they are mounted directly into FingerTight® 360-µm MicroTees (Part Number P-888, IDEX Health & Science®, Oak Harbor, WA, USA).
The tubing length of each Trapping Column is approximately 10 cm. To ensure optimal integration with our Deans Column Switching System, the tubing should be shortened to 3.6-4 cm by cutting at the proximal end of the column prior to installation.
Available Stationary Phases
Our Trapping Columns are available in a range of stationary phase chemistries:
- Single-Phase Trapping Columns are suitable for a wide range of nanoscale LC applications, including complex samples derived from whole-proteome digests. These columns deliver consistent performance with Reversed-Phase Stationary Phases, making them a reliable choice for both routine and high-complexity workflows:
- BioSphere™ C4, particle size=5 µm, pore size=300 Å
- BioSphere™ C8 , particle size=5 µm, pore size=120 Å
- BioSphere™ C18, particle size=5 µm, pore size=120 Å
- PLRP-S™, particle size=5 µm, pore size =1000 Å
This polystyrene/divinylbenzene (PS/DVB) stationary phase is optimized for intact protein analysis, e.g., mAb subunit analyses - Porous Graphitic Carbon, particle size=7 µm
- Customer-supplied Ion eXchange stationary phases upon request
- Two-Phase Trapping Columns are engineered for challenging samples with high contamination levels. Featuring an upstream Perfusion Phase that shields the downstream Reversed-Phase particles, these columns prevent clogging and significantly extend column lifetime:
- Poros® 10R2, particle size=10 µm, pore size=800 Å
BioSphere™ C18, particles size=5 µm, pore size=120 Å
- Poros® 10R2, particle size=10 µm, pore size=800 Å
- Three-Phase Trapping Columns are designed for online Ion eXchange fractionation or PhosphoPeptide enrichment. A specialized stationary phase is embedded between two BioSphere C18 layers, enabling precise and efficient separation or enrichment workflows:
- For online Strong Cation eXchange (SCX) fractionation:
– BioSphere™ C18, particle size=5 µm, pore size=120 Å
– PolySULFOETHYL Aspartamide™, particle size=5 µm, pore size=300 Å
– BioSphere™ C18, particle size=5 µm, pore size=120 Å - For online PhosphoPeptide (PP) enrichment:
– BioSphere™ C18, particle size=5 µm, pore size=120 Å
– Titansphere® TiO2, particle size=5 µm, pore size=100Å
– BioSphere™ C18, particle size=5 µm, pore size=120 Å
- For online Strong Cation eXchange (SCX) fractionation:
