Zodiac HST HB Column: Advanced Hydrogen Bonding Chromatography

The Zodiac HST HB Column introduces cutting-edge hydrogen-bonding (H-bonding) chromatography, setting a new standard in separation technology. This innovative column is designed to separate molecules based on their capacity to form hydrogen bonds, leveraging a unique stationary phase for unparalleled selectivity and efficiency.

Why Choose Zodiac HST HB Column?

  • Unique H-bonding-based separation mechanism for precise analysis of polar and structurally similar molecules.
  • Simplifies method development with predictable retention patterns and broad compound compatibility.
  • A revolutionary tool for research, method development, and industrial applications, providing unmatched speed, selectivity, and efficiency.

Transform your chromatography workflow with the Zodiac HST HB Column—the next frontier in hydrogen-bonding chromatography.

  • Hydrogen Bonding Specificity:
    The Zodiac HST HB Column uses a stationary phase engineered to separate compounds primarily through hydrogen bonding interactions. Molecules with polar X-H bonds (e.g., alcohols, amines, acids, phenols, and amides) exhibit higher retention, while hydrocarbons demonstrate minimal retention, ensuring clear separation.
  • Non-Aqueous Mobile Phase Compatibility:
    • Operates with acetonitrile (MeCN) and methanol (MeOH) as the mobile phase, optimizing hydrogen bond interactions.
    • MeOH, as a strong solvent, interacts significantly with the stationary phase, modulating analyte retention.
  • Wide Application Range:
    Suitable for analyzing a broad spectrum of compounds, including isomers, polar molecules, related impurities, oxidation/reduction products, and drug metabolites.
  • Unique Selectivity:
    • Selectivity based on molecular geometry, functional groups, and hydrogen bond interaction points.
    • Efficient separation of structurally similar compounds, such as isomers and homologs.

  • Speed:
    • The MeCN/MeOH mobile phase combination has 2–3 times lower viscosity than water-based systems.
    • Enables high-speed separations with smaller particles, achieving UPLC-like performance on standard HPLC instruments.
    • Shortens analysis time up to 5x and further increases speed when using UPLC equipment.
  • Solubility:
    • MeOH-MeCN mixtures dissolve a wide range of polar and non-polar molecules, from sugars and salts to lipids and surfactants.
  • Enhanced Preparative Chromatography:
    • Low boiling points of MeCN and MeOH facilitate easy solvent evaporation.
    • Mobile phase is MS-friendly, supporting MS-driven sample collection and isocratic methods to minimize solvent consumption.
  • Improved Selectivity:
    • Ideal for complex separations of compounds with similar properties.

Method Development : 

  1. Polar Surface Area (PSA):
    PSA, of which represents the number of interaction points” available for hydrogen bonding of polar atom surfaces, is a useful indicator for predicting retention patterns of the analytes. While PSA highlights potential H-bonding interactions, proximity and accessibility of these interaction points play a critical role in retention time.
  2. Intra- vs. Inter-Molecular Hydrogen Bonding:
    Molecules with intra-molecular hydrogen bonding exhibit reduced retention due to limited inter-molecular interactions with the stationary phase.
  3. pKa Considerations:
    Despite its non-aqueous operation, ionic interactions between the stationary phase and analytes contribute to the retention profile.
