Here's why IBM HPLC Columns give you superior reproducibility and resolution The secret's in our silica. We combine homogeneous shaped and sized silica with special bonding and packing methods. The result is more uniform flow patterns, unsurpassed stability and excellent reproducibility ... column-to-column, batch-to-batch.
IBM Packing: controlled size and uniformly shaped silica spheres provide maximum adsorption or partition surface. Flow patterns are uniform for high efficiency and outstanding reproducibility.
Ordinary Spherical Packing: non-uniform size and imperfect shape result in variable surface and flow characteristics. Both resolution and reproducibility suffer.
IBM gives you premium quality HPLC Columns without a premium price. To order or ask for further information, call 800-243-3122. In Connecticut call collect, 203-265-5791. Ask for Dept. 2 5 . Or write IBM Instruments, Inc., Dept. 2 5 , PO Box 3020, Wallingford, CT 0 6 4 9 2 34

Irregular S h a p e d Silica Packing: adsorbent surface and flow patterns can vary widely. Fractured particles can collect and block flow. Column life is shortened.
