Virtual Issue: New Modified Silica Stationary Phases

Submission status
Closed

Welcome to an additional virtual issue of Chromatographia focused on new modified silica stationary phases published within the past two years. The stationary phase’s bonded chemistry/selectivity is key to maximising the resolution power of a separation strategy. It also contributes to the column’s retention and efficiency properties; dependent on the analyte(s) and the separation conditions. Hence, the stationary phase is one of the most important attributes to empirically drive decisions during column selection and method development.

Most chromatographers are familiar with using a typical silica-based C18 phase under reversed phase (RP) conditions, its operation, and its practical limitations. Hence, it serves as a good starting point for most chromatographers to translate their own practical understanding to other ligands bonded onto silica-based material and/or other modes of chromatography. Therefore, novel silica-based stationary phases will always be of particular interest, and it is with great pleasure to write this introductory note for this series of articles.

This virtual issue was created Brett Paull, with an editorial article by Dr. Arianne Soliven.
