Shim-pack Velox column will deliver
Combining highly efficient core shell particle technology with a wide range of surface chemistries provides you with the best
opportunity for optimal resolution. With different chemistry characteristics, Shim-pack Velox columns are suitable for use in a wide
variety of applications and challenging separations.
Column Chemistries
We understand that lot to lot consistent performance of columns is required to maximize your laboratory performance. From one lot
to the next, every Shim-pack Velox column you purchase will perform consistently.
Lot to Lot Reproducibility
Column particle sizes and column volumes affect chromatography results significantly if the column configuration does not match
the LC system. As column particle size is reduced, or the column volume (ID and/or the length of the columns) decreases, the
necessity for a lower dispersion system is increased.
Choosing the optimal column configuration for your LC system allows you to achieve improved chromatography. The following
table summarizes the starting recommendations of column configuration for each LC system.

Shim-pack Velox SP-C18
Shim-pack Velox C18
Designed and intended specifically for use under low pH condition, Shim-pack Velox
SP (Sterically Protected)-C18 offers a well balanced retention profile with a long life
time even under harsh, acidic condition needed for LC/MS(/MS) analysis.
Sterically protected to resist strongly acidic (pH 1-3) mobile phase condition
Well balanced retention profile
Suitable for LC/MS(/MS) analysis
Shim-pack Velox C18 is a traditional end-capped C18-bonded phase which offers the
highest hydrophobic retention of any Shim-pack Velox phases and is applicable to a
wide range of applications such as pharmaceutical, food, environmental and clinical
and neutrals at moderately low and mid-range pH.
General purpose column for reversed-phase chromatography
Highest hydrophobic retention among Shim-pack Velox series
Compatible with moderately acidic to neutral mobile phases (pH 2-8)
Sterically protected ligand provides extended low pH stability for the core shell particle. Shim-pack Velox SP-C18 columns maintain a
stable retention profile under strongly acidic mobile phase condition (pH1) .
The assay of cyanocobalamin (a synthetic form of vitamin B12) with 5 µm fully-porous ODS column described in the USP monograph
is transferred to a new method with Shim-pack Velox C18 2.7 µm column, within USP allowable adjustments. Analytical time and
solvent consumption can be saved with transferred methods while meeting the requirements of system suitability.
USP requirement of Chromatography <621>
When the column size is changed, the following conditions should be met;
1) L/dp ratio: within -25 % to +50 %
or
Number of theoretical plates (N): within -25 % to +50 % (For SPP)
2) Flow rate: *Based on particle size and internal diameter and ±50%
Low pH Stability
More than 20 compounds used as the preservative agent for industrial products like foods and cosmetics can can be separated by
Shim-pack Velox SP-C18. The simultaneous determination and quantitation of multiple target compounds are possible in a wide
range of commercial product within acceptable analytical times.

Shim-pack Velox PFPP (Pentafluorophenylpropyl) provides an alternative selectivity to
C18 columns and is suitable for the analysis of halogenated compounds, positional
isomers and charged bases.
Alternative selectivity to C18 columns
Suitable for positional isomers and halogenated compounds
Offers increased retention for charged bases
Even under the condition where 56 drugs of abuse and metabolites in human urine are quantitated within 10 minutes, two
structural isomers, amobarmital and pentobarbital, which have been historically difficult to separate due to their similarity in
chemical structures, could be relatively well resolved with shim-pack Velox Biphenyl column.
Separating the Structural Isomers
Nucleosides are polar molecules that are not well retained on reversed phase LC columns due to their hydrophilic nature are well
retained and separated with Shim-pack Velox HILIC column.
Retention of Nucleosides
Cis and trans isomers of stilbene that are difficult to resolve with an ODS column due to their similarity in hydrophobicity can be well
separated with Shim-pack Velox PFPP column.
