The standard chromatographic separation is done with trapped elution prior the analytical elution in nano-flow mode. Separation is based on reversed-phase chromatography with C18.
Following trap and analytical columns are installed:
  • nanoEase M/Z Symmetry C18 100 A, 5um, 1/PK 180 um x 20 mm (Trap column)
  • nanoEase M/Z HSS C18 T3 Col 100 A, 1.8 um, 1 P/K 75 um x 250 mm (Analytical column)
