Frequently asked questions
What is Q12 used for?
Q12 is used to improve reversed-phase retention and selectivity for suitable charged analytes.
How should Q12 concentration be optimized?
Begin with method-development screening and adjust concentration only after pH and organic solvent are controlled.
How does Q12 differ from shorter ion-pair reagents?
Long-chain reagents generally provide stronger hydrophobic contribution and can increase retention.
What troubleshooting is important for Q12?
Equilibrate the column thoroughly, maintain consistent pH and avoid reagent carryover between incompatible methods.
