SiliCycle™ SiliaSphere™ Spherical Silica Gel, 5 μm, 100 Å

SiliaSphere^™- Bulk Analytical Spherical Silica Gels

SiliaSphere^™, the right choice for:

• Chromatographic performance
• Loading capacity
• Reproducibility
• Chemical & physical stability

With pore diameters ranging from 60 to 1000 Å and particle sizes from 1.8 to 25 μm, we SiliCycle™ products to meet all your separation requirements. This is one of the most reliable portfolios of spherical silica gels for high pressure chromatography.

SiliaSphere^™ are ideal for both analytical and preparative chromatography, from laboratory to pilot-plant processes and production scales. Furthermore, the excellent properties of SiliaSphere^™ make them the packing of choice for high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC) and simulated moving bed (SMB) applications.

Features and Benefits of SiliaSphere™ Spherical Silica Gels:

• High purity silica gels (Consistency, reliability & reproducibility)
• Perfect spherical shape, free of any cavities or cracks (Ease of column packing and high resolution)
• Exceptional narrow particle size distribution (Optimal separation and resolution)
• Strong mechanical stability (Low back-pressure without surface abrasion)
• Same well controlled processes for all SiliaSphere^™ (Easy scalability)

SiliaSphere^™ as a Silica Matrix

SiliCycle^™ has a strong know-how and expertise in silica gel manufacturing. To support the increasing demand on spherical silicas, SiliCycle^™ developed an optimized and highly controlled large-scale production process for all of their SiliaSphere^™ products, without decreasing the quality of the silica.

Particle shape, pore & particle size distributions, silica gel purity and surface properties, all have their influence on chromatographic performance. Therefore, in order to develop the most efficient process, all these parameters need to be evaluated and optimized to ensure batch-to-batch reproducibility.

SiliaSphere^™ is manufactured from an organic form of silicon (alkoxydes). This ensures very low metal content as the starting material is purified by distillation. Deionized water is used to hydrolyze the silicon alkoxydes. Careful monitoring and control of the parameters that induce precipitation provide spherical silica gels with the desired characteristics.

SiliaSphere^™ products are characterized by a very low metal content and exceptional stability. Furthermore, SiliCycle™'s manufacturing process ensures quality and reproducibility in pore size, surface area, particle size and morphology for all SiliaSphere^™ products.
