With more than 25 years of professional know-how in HPLC Restek is one of the most important producers of liquid chromatography columns. Analytics-Shop a specialist dealer for Restek HPLC columns and offers you the entire product range of Restek HPLC columns, as well as Restek accessoires for HPLC. You can benefit of the knowledge of our professional consultants and contact them with your questions.
HPLC columns are available in various configurations:
Phase: Allure, Pinnacle DB, Pinnacle II, Ultra, Ultra II, Viva, etc.
Packing: Amino, C18, C8, Cyano, Phenyl, Silica, etc.
Pore Size: 60 Å, 100 Å, 300 Å, etc.
If you would like to compare Restek HPLC columns with the other manufacturers such as Agilent, Waters or Thermo Fisher, use our HPLC column configurator.
Pinnacle DB columns are 100% manufactured by Restek in the Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, facility. Because performance begins with the support, Pinnacle® DB UHPLC columns start with base-deactivated spherical silica that is optimized for UHPLC stability. From there, Restek bonds them with a wide variety of phases to give chromatographers a stable and selective column. These columns combine selectivity and eiciency for UHPLC columns.

The Ultra line represents Restek’s broadest selection of stationary phases on a single silica support. Made of high-purity, type-B silica that minimizes activity and creates high-density bonding, these columns are designed for selective and reliable HPLC applications.

Viva columns are based on a wide-pore material Restek designed for optimal large- molecule separations. In developing Viva silica, Restek found that although many commercial wide-pore silicas meet the standard 300 Å mean pore size, most have very broad distributions about this mean with a signiicant portion of their pore volume falling below 150 Å. This means a large portion of the surface area is unavailable to larger molecules. Viva columns have a narrow distribution around the mean pore size, permitting a larger portion of the silica surface to play a role in the separation.
