YMC*GEL for preparative HPLC has various available functional groups, such as reversed-phase and normal-phase, and also various particle sizes from 3 µm with high-resolution to 150 µm for open column chromatography. YMC*GEL is able to work for a long period of time without particle breakage, as it uses high-density and high-strength silica gel. YMC*GEL/YMC*GEL HG packing materials are widely used both domestically and internationally.
The high mechanical stability of YMC*GEL HG is demonstrated by means of repeated measurements with a dynamic axial compression column (DAC). Even after more than 10 repacking cycles with the same material, the pressure does not increase. The absence of fines is proven by a constant backpressure.

YMC*GEL/YMC*GEL HG are available with various functional groups and also with wide pores. Therefore, this material is suitable for the preparation of peptides, such as insulin and proteins. YMC*GEL HG can make scaling up from analytical scale to preparative scale easy, as it has the same performance as that of YMC-Pack.
