Ion Pair Reagents

Santa Cruz Biotechnology now offers a broad range of ion pair reagents for use in various applications. Ion pair reagents are essential in chromatography, particularly in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), where they enhance the separation of ionic and highly polar compounds. These reagents work by forming ion pairs with the analyte ions, thereby increasing their hydrophobicity and retention on reversed-phase columns. This process improves the separation efficiency and resolution of complex mixtures, which is crucial in analyzing biological samples and environmental pollutants. Researchers use ion pair reagents to achieve better peak shapes, enhanced selectivity, and increased sensitivity in their chromatographic analyses. These reagents are particularly valuable for separating and quantifying small ions, peptides, and nucleotides, providing precise and reproducible results. By offering a comprehensive selection of high-quality ion pair reagents, Santa Cruz Biotechnology supports advanced research in analytical chemistry, biochemistry, and environmental science. These products empower scientists to optimize their chromatographic conditions, leading to improved analytical performance and reliable identification and quantification of target compounds.
