Epic Biphenyl is a truly unique stationary phase with properties significantly different than ODS phases. This unique character results from bonded biphenyl group imparting a pi-pi electron interaction which produces an enhanced retention for many compounds particularly those that contain polarizable electrons. Many classes of compounds contain polarizable electrons including halogenated compounds, aromatics, nitro aromatics and conjugated systems.

Epic C18 is a highly base deactivated phase that produces the most inert silica C18 material available today. Because of the high density bonding levels (4umol/m2) this column demonstrates superior peak shapes for the most demanding tests. Epic C18 provides exceptional peak shape and selectivity over a wide pH range (pH 1-12).

Epic C18 MS 1.8 um is specifically engineered for the demands of LC-MS. It provides superior retention even at high organic levels. Many LC-MS applications rely on high level of organic modifier in the mobile phase, particularly in the for high performance trace analysis requiring high sensitivity and low level detection

Epic C18 SD sub-2 micron is specifically engineered for the demands of high performance HPLC. Epic C18-SD is a product of high bonding density technology; high bonding density provides the maximum stationary phase interaction providing a platform for flexible mobile phase compositions. It provides superior retention even at low and especially at high organic levels. In addition, it is compatible with all LC-MS mobile phases and buffer systems.

Epic Diphenyl bonded phase, with reduced hydrophobicity produces HPLC columns with novel selectivity, exhibiting increased speed and resolution, utilizes strong dipole‐dipole hydrogen bonding and π‐π mechanisms for different selectivity for compounds containing double bonds or aromatic functional groups. In addition, the diphenyl arrangement of the phase can also contribute to steric selectivity allowing for an additional chromatographic interaction. Epic Diphenyl is also highly selective for proteins with aromatic side chains and may be used as a USP L11 column.

Epic Naphthyl is a naphthalene based material, with high bonding density and intrinsic base deactivation due to a rigid structure that also enables the shape selectivity needed for many diastereomeric separations. It exhibits strong π-π interaction and charge transfer interactions and performs well for diastereomers separations and non-polar compounds. The unique properties of Epic Naphthyl places its selectivity between graphitized carbon and alkyl type stationary phases.

Epic Phenyl-Hexyl uses a hexyl-linked phenyl phase. The hexyl alkyl chain provides for unique selectivity and increased hydrolytic stability when compared to propyl-linked chemistry. The Epic high-density bonding technology delivers to the chromatographer superior performance, durability, and enhanced lot-to-lot reproducibility. Epic Phenyl-Hexyl offers the chromatographer a truly superior phenyl based interaction for enhanced chromatographic performance.

Epic Polar is a high density C18 packing specifically engineered for the retention of polar analytes. Epic Polar is a reversed phase column that enables highly soluble solutes to fully interact with the bonded hydrocarbon phase, even in pure aqueous mobile phases. Under these highly aqueous conditions, our novel proprietary bonding chemistry allows the bonded chains to remain fully extended in the mobile phase. Epic Polar is a true base deactivated reverse phase column and does not contain any undesirable ion exchange or mixed mode characteristics. Epic Polar can retain highly water-soluble compounds such as small organic acids, water-soluble vitamins, purines and pyrimidines, cathecholamines and other polar compounds.
