Ultra Flash cartridges from UCT are cartridges for flash chromatography. The hardware of these cartridges is compatible with instruments from many manufacturers such as Teledyne Isco, Biotage, Analogix, Interchim and Grace. The Ultra Flash cartridges are available in 3 different versions.
Ultra Flash I has a narrow particle size distribution (40-63µm), a high surface area and is made of irregular silica gel.
Ultra Flash II has smaller particles (25-40µm) and therefore an increased resolution and charge capacity compared to Ultra Flash I. The spherical particles ensure a lower back pressure
Ultra Flash III (iLOK) offers Ultra Flash I or II material with hardware that can be opened to manually install or connect the columns.
Phase | Particle size | Pore size | Surface area | pH range | Particle shape | Pressure |
Ultra Flash I | 40-63 µm | 60 Å | 500 m²/g | 6.5 - 7.5 | irregular | 300 psi (20 bar) |
Ultra Flash II | 25-40 µm | 70 Å | 500 m²/g | 6.0 - 8.0 | spherical | 400 psi (27 bar) |
