TRACER EXCEL™ is a range of totally new packings that employ the most advanced procedures of synthesis and chemical functionalization, resulting in some column packings that completely surpass other silica-based packings on the market. To manufacture the silica particle, the basis of all TRACER EXCEL packings, we begin with materials of extreme purity and follow strictly controlled processes. In this way, we get a totally porous, spherically perfect particle, without surface irregularities and with an extremely low content of metals (Al, Fe, Ti and Zn). The rigorous control of the process variables also allows us to obtain a material with a perfectly reproducible porosity and surface area, and with a practical absence of micropores. In other competitors’ packings, these micropores cause chromatographic problems due to incomplete substitution of the support, while with TRACER EXCEL packings micropores are totally eliminated. We are therefore able to offer you a complete line of HPLC packings with characteristics of reproducibility, purity, deactivation, fluido-dynamic behaviour and chemical and physical stability that are diffi cult to beat.
