Great column choice for LC method development
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Small molecule analysis

"The Cortecs C18 (1.6 µm) was an excellent choice for my UHPLC RP method covering a wide range of drugs and metabolites. Good separation and peak shape!"

I can say that this is an excellent column for complex sample analysis of glycosphingolipids
Rating: 4.7

  • Application Area:Analysis of Glycosphingolipids

"This column provides excellent and reproducible LC-MS chromatogram for my glycosphingolipids analysis. In addition, I am getting very narrow peaks which increases my peak capacity. This could be due to the very small particles (1.6 um) and core-shell type silica particles it has."

Really good quality column, It´s a keeper!
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Hormone assay

"Needed to develop a RP UV method, had one week from start to finish. I tried a few columns before I decided to contact Waters. Waters sent me a CORTECS C18 and the results was amazing. Perfect symmetry and repeatability for a method that otherwise needed more time to refine. Saved me a lot of time for this project."

Great addition to the column line-up!
Rating: 4.0

  • Application Area:Agricultural Chemistry

"The Cortecs T3 column has provided excellent separation of mixed polarity compounds. The column, as expected, has provided excellent selectivity for moderately polar compounds. This is a great column to add to your method development screen!!"

Very good separation of Peptide impurities!
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Purity of Peptides and small molecules in complex matrices

"The column is easy to use. Good stability at high temperature and low pH, not bad batch reproducibility and relative fast column equilibration (CSH C18 little faster). We want to see next time the stability with pH 6-8. Very happy to work with the new CORTECS Columns! "

Nice column for large sample volume studies.
Rating: 4.0

  • Application Area:Drug assay in plasma

"CORTECS column has low back pressure and require high flow rates, which takes some time to get used to when switching from UPLC system. The short run time is good for BABE and PKPD studies with large sample volume."

Great results for Acidic pH usage.
Rating: 4.0

  • Application Area:HPLC method development for small molecules

"High efficiency columns with good results in separation, good product for the money, just wish you have more selectivities and wider column conditions for usage such as temperature and pH."
