Advanced Chemistry Development and
Eprogen, Inc.

In October 2001 Eichrom Technologies, Inc. announced the formation of a new company, Eprogen, Inc. Eprogen, Inc. offers a broad range of HPLC products that meet application needs in the areas of life science/proteomics, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and environmental separations and are designed for exceptional performance in analytical and preparative applications. These columns are offered for reversed phase, anion and cation exchange (weak and strong) and size exclusion.

Among HPLC products offered by Eprogen there are:

• MICRA® Platinum columns. This state-of-the-art performance category includes column supports containing the NPS® non-porous silica particle technology as well as 3m porous column supports derived from the SynChropak® bonding chemistry, known for over two decades for excellent resolution, stability and reproducibility. The MICRA Platinum columns are available in reversed phase and normal phase and are designed for high-throughput analysis or LC/MS techniques. Additionally, three NPS specialty columns include NPS TAS, suited for caratenoid analysis and fat soluble vitamins, NPS PAH, offering excellent resolution of the 16 priority pollutants in less than 8 minutes, and NPS SIL, well suited for normal phase analysis and LC/MS applications.
  
  
• MICRA Gold columns are based on SynChropak bonding chemistry and are designed for the analysis and purification of proteins, peptides, polymers, basic/acidic molecules, and pharmaceuticals.
  
  
• MICRA Gold CATSEC series columns, that allow the cationic polymers, such as polyvinylpyridines, to elute according to their size and without adsorption. One of the reversed phase columns offered in this line, SCD 100 (base-deactivated), is unique to the industry in effectively resolving drug mixtures. The GPC series allow analysis of solutes with molecular weights ranging from 0.5kDa to 10,000 kDa.
  
  
• The MICRA Silver line offers economical benefits for methods development and is well suited for preparative formats.
  
  

A number of Eprogen (former Eichrom) separations in structure-searchable form are now added to the ACD/Chromatographic Applications DB.
