SRT-C SEC phase, developed based on innovative surface coating technology, comprises of uniform, hydrophilic, and neutral nanometer thick film chemically bonded to high purity and mechanically stabilized silica. SRT-C, uses lay-down monolayer on porous silica as oppose to SRT of stand-up monolayer, offers ideal phase chemistry for hydrophobic samples like insulin, membrane protein monoclonal antibodies derivatized with polymer branches (polypeptide or PEG) separation.
