The two chromatograms to the right show conventional analysis that is performed faster. The lower chromatogram is the result of analysis using a Shimadzu Shim-pack VP-ODS general-purpose column.
Shim-pack XR Series
HPLC Column

Shim-pack XR Series columns use a 2.2 μm packing particle size and offer a skillful balance between resolution efficiency and pressure. An XR Series column resolution equivalent to a general-purpose column with 5 μm packing particle size (Shim-pack VP-ODS), but significantly reduces the analysis time. The pressure on the column under many analysis conditions does not exceed 35 MPa. Consequently, ultrafast analysis can be comfortably performed on an existing instrument.

Shim-pack XR-ODS Permits Simple Switching from Conventional Analysis
The two chromatograms to the right show conventional analysis that is performed faster. The lower chromatogram is the result of analysis using a Shimadzu Shim-pack VP-ODS general-purpose column. -
Customers can select the ideal column for the intended analysis. In addition to the versatile Shim-pack XR-ODS that is bonded with the C18 group, the comprehensive Shim-pack XR Series product range includes the Shim-pack XR-C8 that is bonded with the C8 group to give different retention behavior to ODS...

While the Shim-pack XR-ODSII/III use the same 2.2 μm packing particle size as the Shim-pack XR Series columns, they have higher 60/100 MPa pressure tolerance to achieve high-resolution fast analysis in a long column using a water/methanol mobile phase.
