Amino Flash

The silanol groups on the surface of bare silica gel can act as a Bronsted acid (silicic acid). This means they can adsorb basic compounds by ionic bonding. The modified silica surface, treated with an amino-propyl silane by chemical bonding, eliminates the ionic interactions with basic compounds. Without this treatment, the ionic bonds have strong effects on basic solutes, adsorbing the basic solute to the surface of the silica gel, which causes the solutes to elute from the column with tailing and low yield.

The Amine functionalized Silicas serve multiple functions depending on conditions.

Recommended applications include: As Normal Phase for basic compounds like alkaloids; as a Reversed Phase for vitamins or sugars; metal scavenger removal/recovery for acid chlorides, isocyanates, etc.; dyes, lipids, mycotoxins, pesticides.

Amino Flash is available in porosities of 100Å, 300Å, and 500Å and a particle size distribution of 40-75µm.

Amino Flash is manufactured on Sorbtech’s Premium Rf™ Spherical Silica Gel which boasts narrow pore and particle distributions, ensuring optimal selectivity, capacity, efficiency, low operating pressure, and shorter processing time.

Premium Rf Spherical Silica Gel is manufactured to a high chemical purity standard (99.9% SiO₂). Organics and trace metals content are controlled within stringent limits. Each production batch has undergone extensive quality control testing to ensure reliable lot-to-lot performance. This rigid control of chemical purity, surface area and pore size, ensure our silica will yield reproducible separation results and allow for direct scale-up without requiring time-consuming method redevelopment.

Our spherical silicas are mechanically robust and can, therefore, be repacked multiple times in either analytical or preparative scale columns.
