Kromasil® products are well known for their ability to work along the whole spectrum from analytical to industrial scale chromatography. Kromasil® AmyCoat and CelluCoat are no exception.
Simplifies method development
With particle sizes from 3 μm to 25 μm giving identical selectivity, Kromasil® AmyCoat and CelluCoat make it easy to scale up while retaining excellent performance. As for all Kromasil® products, the user can perform the required method development in analytical scale columns and then scale up to a larger column. For example, 3 μm particles in an analytical scale column can be scaled to a larger column packed with 10 μm particles. If the initial goal is to scale up the process, an analytical column packed with 10 μm particles can be used right from the start.

Mechanically strong
Mechanical strength is an important product lifetime parameter. Kromasil® AmyCoat and CelluCoat have mechanically strong spherical silica, which withstands repeated cycles of packing. The test was designed to exert greater than normal mechanical stress on the chiral stationary phases, and is performed at a packing pressure above the maximum 50 bar recommended by the manufacturer of Chiralcel OD and Chiralpak AD.
The relative back-pressure increase is a measure of the degree of degradation of the material after repeated packings. Actual particle size for Chiralcel and Chiralpak is about three times larger than that for Kromasil, which explains the difference in initial back-pressure (back-pressure is inversely proportional to the square of the particle size).
