Available Columns and Stationary Phases

Orochem provides a variety of different column sizes for all the Symphony Chrome SMB units. Columns can be sold filled with Orochem’s stationary phases, or empty so that they can be filled separately. Column sizes are listed in Table 3. Contact us for more options.
Orochem synthesizes and manufactures achiral and chiral stationary phases. For achiral phases, Orochem provides both silica based and polymer base, normal phases, reversed phases and ion- exchange phases. Orochem’s stationary phases are listed in Table 4. Contact us for more options.
