Welchrom® HPLC columns are manufactured by Welch Materials Inc., located in Shanghai, China. The phases are based on high-purity spherical silica gel, which is available in two different reversed-phase modifications. Due to a new bonding and endcapping technique, Welchrom® columns show symmetrical peak shape and low back pressure.
