For What Applications and Techniques Can DAI Activated Alumina Be Used?

More Details about Applications | Shop Alumina Online

DAI’s alumina for chromatography has contributed to the continued growing use of this material, in a diverse number of applications. Indeed the major reasons for this growth has been our contribution to the standardization of the manufacturing process. This has resulted in standardized grades of alumina that are very well controlled and defined. Alumina, by being amphoteric (acting either as a base or an acid as well as being configured as neutral). provides the chromatographer the ability to separate a multitude of compounds over and above silica gels. Alumina can act as a weak ion exchanger demonstrating anionic or cationic properties while additionally acting as an adsorbent.

• Super Activity I
• Standard (Std) Activity I - IV
• pH: Acid (A) Basic (B) Neutral (N)
• Step less Deactivation behavior • Constant Deactivation behavior
• Controlled Chromatographic Parameters
• Controlled Surface Area, Porosity

Techniques

Careful attention is paid to quality control procedures' reproducible performance regardless of the technique used, especially when transferring from one technique to another.

DAI alumina can be used for all separation and purification techniques including the following:

• Flash chromatography

• Column chromatography

• Dry column chromatography

• Large column chromatography

• Thin layer chromatography

• High performance liquid chromatography

• High performance thin layer chromatography

The consistency in the alumina products allow separation scientists to easily scale up from analytical quality control methods development through pilot - preparative scale and commercial processing applications with no need to change product parameters.
