Choose a HiQ Sil phase
C18HS and C18W provide strong reversed-phase retention; C8 and C4 offer progressively lower hydrophobicity; Phenyl adds aromatic selectivity; NH2, CN and bare silica provide polar or normal-phase options. Selectivity, particle size, pore size, column dimensions, mobile phase and sample properties should all be considered together.
