Poroshell 120 – A New Approach to High Resolution and High Speed LC• Poroshell 120 is a high efficiency, high resolution column choice for enhancing productivity on an HPLC or UHPLC.
• Use by 1200, 1100 and other HPLC users (P < 400 bar) for fast separations with high resolution.
> 4.6 and 3.0 mm ID columns have higher column volumes for any HPLC
> 2.1 mm ID columns are good for LC/MS and on systems optimized for low column volume use
• Use by 1200 RRLC, 1290 Infinity LC or other UHPLC users with P > 400 bar
> Long Poroshell 120 columns deliver very high efficiency (single or series)

Who will love to use Poroshell 120
HPLC users – needing greater productivity but without a UHPLC instrument or concerned with transferring methods to those without a UHPLC
> Pharma development before pharma discovery, more likely to have HPLC or need to confirm method on HPLC
> Leads to easy transition to QA/QC
> Generic pharma – less likely to have UHPLC
> USP methods – can substitute for 5um methods (-50% on particle size) for improved resolution
Page 11
Who will also love to use Poroshell 120
Dirty samples
> Pharma – DMPK early or late
> Clinical – many dirty samples, have been unwilling to go to sub 2um
> Food safety/environmental – extracts of food/soil considered dirty
> Customers who use Quechers with LC – samples not quite as clean as SPE
UHPLC users
> Primary goal is more resolution
> Product currently limited to 600 bar
> May want 4.6 mm ID or have a UHPLC in place of an LC and still prefer lower pressure separations

How Do You Use Poroshell 120 Columns
• For HPLC and UHPLC!
• Do you need special instruments? NO
• Are there special sample precautions to take with dirty samples? NO
• For USP Methods? YES

What Types of Instruments Can You Use Poroshell 120 Columns on? HPLC’s and UHPLC’sUHPLC considerations
> Poroshell 120 columns have a 600 bar pressure limit
> UHPLC is likely set up for low volume columns so columns can be used on all UHPLC configured systems
HPLC considerations
> Poroshell 120 columns work well below 400 bar
> Minimize extra column volume for the 2.1 and 3.0mm ID columns – follow instructions given in 2006 for RRHT columns
> Use adequate detector speed for sharp, efficiency peaks

Chromatographic Optimization with Poroshell 120Same Process as on Other Columns
1. Adjust Injection volume proportional to column volume (5 ul to 2 ul).
2. Adjust Gradient Length proportional to column Length (100/250 x30 min) = 12 min
3. Optimize Flow Rate for Smaller Particles (adjust gradient time while keeping column volume constant) may improve resolution
4. Adjust gradient for selectivity differences

How is a Poroshell 120 Particle Made?
Step 1 – Make the solid core
> Cores are a uniform size with a smooth surface for a tight overall particle size distribution
Step 2 – Apply the porous shell
> This is done in a single step – no multilayering
> A coacervation technique is used – and represents a unique process and significant innovation by Agilent for more consiste nt chromatography
Step 3 – React the bonded phase
> Two different C18 bonded phases are available – EC-C18 – endcapped C18 and SB-C18 – non-endcapped C18
5/3/2010

Step 1 – Make the Solid Core
Cores are a uniform 1.7um size with a smooth surface
RSD of seven batches of cores = 0.04%
This leads to a tight final particle size distribution
Tighter than with totally porous particles

Comparison of Particle Size DistributionsPoroshell 120 is 25% Narrower

90%/10% ratio 1.16 1.47 1.45 1.35
� The 1.8, 3.5 and 5um particles all have a normal particle size distribution (number below 1.5 for totally porous particles).� The Poroshell 120 particle size distribution is 20-25% narrower.� This narrower PSD improves column efficiency over a totally porous particle – i.e. impacts the “A” term in the Van Deemter equation.� This is one reason for the high efficiency of Poroshell 120

Page 31
Step 2 – Make the Porous Outer Layer
• The Agilent process for Poroshell 120 differs from other processes for superficially porous particles.
• A single step coacervation process is used, rather than a multilayering process.
• Coacervation is the process by which small sol particles come together to form the porous particle
• Like the finely controlled pore size/particle size process of ZORBAX
• 1 step reduces variability – more reproducible
Page 32

Step 3 – Attach the Bonded Phase
2 C18 Bonded Phases are available
> Poroshell 120 EC-C18 – endcapped C18 for best peak shape
– Should be the first choice for most separations
– This includes peptide mapping with LC/MS compatible mobile phases
– Most similar to competitive superficially porous products (they are all endcapped)
> Poroshell 120 SB-C18
– Great alternate selectivity because non-endcapped
– Best performance at low pH, i.e. longest lifetime

Poroshell 300 – Agilent’s First Poroshell Columns
High Resolution, Fast Separations of Polypeptides and Proteins
•Poroshell 300 columns are for the separation of large peptides and proteins
•Poroshell 300 particles have a solid silica core with a superficially porous surface with a 300Å pore size
•This results in more efficient mass transfer, sharper peaks and fast, efficient separations with large proteins and peptides

Which Agilent Product Do You Recommend? Sub 2um or Poroshell 120For an HPLC recommend Poroshell 120
> Unless the chromatography requires scale-up in particle sizes
For a UHPLC both choices are possible
> Consider the goals of the customer and applications available
> Sub 2um will be an excellent choice for the highest pressure UHPLCs
Page 45
Agilent Has Three Types of Columns for UHPLC
There are 3 column types for UHPLC – choice depends on your requirements
RRHT columns – 1.8um columns for fast LC up to 600 bar > Designed for compatibility with the Agilent RRLC
> Compatible with some UHPLC’s with pressure limits up to 800 bar
RRHD columns – 1.8um columns for up to 1200 bar> Designed for compatibility with the new Agilent 1290 Infinity LC
> Useable up to 1200 bar
> Fully UHPLC compatible
Poroshell 120 columns> 600 bar pressure limit for use with HPLC/UHPLC
> UHPLC type performance but excellent fit for 400 ba r LC’s

What makes Poroshell 120 different from other SPP (Superficial Porous Particle) columns?• The coacervation process used to make the
porous outer layer in just one step, rather than a multilayering process, reduces variability –more reproducibility
• The narrowest PSD (particle size distribution) wiht a 90%/10% ratio of 1.16, provide the best efficiency.
• Best peak simetry in the market. TF closest to 1, better than the competition

> High Efficiency Separations can be achieved on Poroshell 120 with Low Pressure .
> Can be used with dirty samples, without seing a high increase in pressure
> Can be used on an USP method without compromising the Method Adjustment Criteria
> The coacervation process used to make the porous outer layer and the narrowest PSD, gives to Poroshell 120 the best reproducibility, the better peak shape, the highest efficiency, the lower pressure and the highest peak capacity among all the superficially porous columns in the market
