The MCI Gel™ hydrophobic interaction columns and resins are based on polyhydroxymethacrylate functionalised with phenyl, butyl or ether. The relative hydrophobicity of these resins is as follows: phenyl > butyl > ether.
The columns are packed with 10 µm bead size and the resins are available with bead sizes of 10 µm and 30 µm.
On this page: List of available columns and resins followed by some sample chromatograms.
