2.1µm Fortis C18 (2)™

– High Efficiency– Robust Particles– Operate to 15,000psi– Fully Scalable to analytical and prep size

Fortis 2.1µm particles are designed to provide characteristics, which will aid in increased productivity within ultra high pressure chromatography (UHPLC). Designed to be robust, reproducible and fully scalable.Fortis 2.1µm particles will operate both on traditional LC systems, providing increased efficiency, and also on the latest UHPLC systems.

Increased Efficiency

Scalability and Sensitivity

Critically important to the analyst is the ability to have a fully scalable separation. Fortis C18 can be scaled from 2.1µm all the way through analytical 3 and 5µm particles to prep size without any change in retention profile.

By moving from a 3µm particle size to 2.1µm Fortis C18 sensitivity can be increased. In this example peak height goes up by over 27%

2.1µm Fortis C18 provides increased efficiency over 3µm and 5µm particles. This gives the opportunity to increase resolution or speed of analysis.

A wider linear flow range means that more resolution and peak capacity can be achieved for a given separation. By staying above 2µm particle size, Fortis 2.1µm C18 ensures pressure is reduced whilst no loss in efficiency is seen.

– Lower back pressure– Higher Efficiency– Greater Resolution– Increased Sensitivity

Method Development

Increase Speed

Greater speed can be achieved by moving to smaller particles, whilst still obtaining full baseline resolution.

2.1µm Fortis C18 will operate at higher linear flow rates whilst providing lower backpressure than sub 2µm particles.

To move to smaller particles and smaller columns, without affecting selectivity, use the scaling equations to optimise your UHPLC parameters: e-mail us for the spreadsheet,[email protected]

Getting Started :Method development typically starts with a C18 or C8 column, both provide Hydrophobic retention with good peak shapes for neutral, acidic and basic analytes. Generally if retention of polar molecules is also needed then a polar endcapped stationary phase such as Fortis H2o is a good starting choice.If selectivity is insufficient then Phenyl or Cyano stationary phases are a good alternative, they will change selectivity and even elution order since they work on dipole characteristics as opposed to just hydrophobicity.Fortis Cyano is good in normal phase (NP) conditions for polar analytes with COOH, NH2, NHR2 or NR2 groups. If small polar molecules still do not retain then HILIC chromatography is a suitable alternative.

Hydrophobicity

Fortis C18 high surface area combined with the optimised C18 ligand bonding provides high retention for compounds.This is advantageous in a number of ways:

- Higher retention of analytes, more organic modifier can be used to elute, therefore greater MS sensitivity.

- Higher retention of analytes, more organic leads to shorter ‘dry-down’ in fraction collection.

- Higher retention of analytes, more chance of resolution

Fortis Phenyl™

– Unique Selectivity– Separate Positional Isomers– No “MS bleed”, stable hydrophobic ligand– Enhanced Polar Retention

Fortis Phenyl is designed to provide characteristics which will enhance selectivity. It provides the analyst with extra retention of compounds containing aromatic functionality. Extra selectivity and retention can be found for polar substrates, along with metabolite profiling.

Unique Functionality

Fortis Phenyl is based upon a unique di-phenyl functionality. Three controlled mechanisms of interaction can occur.

This allows for unique resolution of closely related species, and metabolites. No complex mobile phases are necessary simplifying method development.

Selectivity of compounds normally difficult to resolve on a hydrophobic alkyl chain stationary phase is simplified by the π-π interactions provided by the phenyl functionality.

In this application two hydroxyestradiol steroids exhibit resolution from each other, which is not achievable on alkyl chain phases. No complex mobile phases are necessary.

Di-phenyl vs C18

Selectivity of the Fortis di-phenyl is radically different to that of a C18 stationary phase.

In this pharmaceutical mixture we can see an increase in retention of the parent drug, whilst the degradents are all eluted quickly, removing them from co-elution with the parent.

Selectivity such as this can be extremely useful, combined with the ability to separate closely related species such as metabolites and positional isomers.

Fortis HILIC™

– Retention of Polars– Increased MS sensitivity– Alternate selectivity– Reduced extraction (SPE) and dry down times.

Fortis HILIC (Hydrophilic Interaction Chromatography) is designed to aid in the separation and retention of very polar analytes. Extended retention is afforded by the partitioning, ion-exchange and hydrogen bonding that can occur on a HILIC stationary phase. Fortis HILIC can increase sensitivity in MS analysis and provide alternate selectivity to that achieved with reversed phase C18.

Hydrophilic Interaction Chromatography (HILIC) works in a similar way to normal phase chromatography. A polar surface combined with a non-polar mobile phase, typically ACN, allows for partition of the polar analytes and hence retention and separation. Water is used in low concentration as the strong solvent in order to elute the compounds.

Filter & Guard Options– Guard system for all 3µm, 5µm and 10µm phases– Low volume in-line filters for LC and UHPLC– Maintain chromatographic integrity

Fortis Guards and filters are designed to ensure that erroneous materials do not find there way onto the more important and expensive analytical column. Guards are available in sizes to match all analytical and preparative column dimensions. Filters are particularly suitable for short fast LC/MS (Pace™) columns and UHPLC columns.

– Guard system for all 3µm, 5µm and 10µm phases– Quick replacement cartridges- Highly Cost Effective

– Preparative guard system 10mm & 21.2mm– Quick replacement cartridges- Highly Cost Effective

– Filter for all LC columns– Low volume in-line filters– Change over time - seconds not minutes

Fortis in-line filters are fingertight direct connect design, fitting in between the column and the conventional peek fitting to filter out particulate matter, it contains low dead volume and pressure. In-line filters are ideal for very short fast columns such as Fortis Pace™ LC/MS columns where extra packed bed from a guard would be detrimental. In-line filters are also available in UHPLC format, capable of withstanding the elevated pressures involved.
