Imtakt
Imtakt Chromatography Columns
Imtakt HPLC columns are engineered in Japan using proprietary silica and polymer chemistries that deliver exceptional peak symmetry, wide pH compatibility, and consistent batch-to-batch performance. Designed for high-efficiency separations, Imtakt phases support demanding pharmaceutical, biochemical, environmental, and LC-MS workflows.
The Imtakt column family spans a comprehensive range of selectivities and performance profiles:
- Decapo DX-C18 — wide-pH reversed-phase development (pH 1–12) with excellent stability.
- Presto FF-C18 — ultra-fast, high-resolution separations for high-throughput methods.
- Cadenza CD-C18 — specialized for isomer, structural, and closely related compound separations.
- Intrada — optimized for amino acids and organic acids, including LC/MS compatibility.
- Scherzo C18 — multi-mode phase combining reversed-phase and ion-exchange interactions in a single column.
These advanced phases give analysts powerful tools for method development, impurity profiling, chiral-adjacent workflows, metabolite analysis, and challenging structural or polarity-rich separations.
