SeQuant® ZIC®-HILIC HPLC Columns
Hydrophilic Interaction Liquid Chromatography (HILIC) is a liquid chromatographic technique for separation of strongly polar and hydrophilic compounds, which often have little or no retention on reversed phase columns.
EMD's unique ZIC®-HILIC technology is based on a stationary phase with a covalently bonded, highly polar zwitterionic functional group that provides higher stability and more robust HILIC separations than conventional silica or amino phases.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that it has developed a method using the chromatography column ZIC®-HILIC for simultaneously detecting residues of melamine and cyanuric acid in infant formula which considerably increases food safety.
