Thermo Scientific™ Hypercarb™ stationary phases are made of 100% porous graphitic carbon (PGC). The particles are spherical and fully porous. The surface is crystalline and highly reproducible, with no micro pores or chemically bonded phase. Hypercarb™ columns show improved retention of polar compounds compared to silica based bonded phases, due to their unique retention mechanisms. The surface of Hypercarb™ is stereoselective with the capability to separate geometric isomers and other closely related compounds.
