Pursuit XRs
Agilent Pursuit XRs HPLC Columns
Agilent Pursuit XRs columns are engineered for high-resolution, high-loading performance across analytical and preparative HPLC workflows. Built on ultra-high-purity silica with tightly controlled pore structures, Pursuit XRs columns deliver exceptional peak shape, reproducibility, and ruggedness—making them a reliable choice for pharmaceuticals, environmental testing, food safety, and complex mixture analysis.
Designed to meet diverse chromatographic needs, Agilent offers both the standard Pursuit phases and the high-carbon-load Pursuit XRs chemistries. These phases span key USP classifications—including USP L1, L7, and L11—to provide predictable performance and easy method transfer across laboratories. With particle sizes ranging from analytical-scale options to large-diameter preparative columns, users can seamlessly scale from development to purification.
The Pursuit XRs line is specifically optimized for enhanced retention of hydrophobic analytes, superior loadability, and consistent performance under aggressive gradient conditions. These columns support high sample throughput and strong method robustness, helping labs achieve precise separations even with demanding matrices or regulatory-driven assays.
Chrom Tech offers the full portfolio of Pursuit and Pursuit XRs HPLC columns, along with expert technical guidance to help you select the ideal phase, dimensions, and particle size for your workflow. For assistance or additional recommendations, contact our technical support team here.
High Carbon Load Bonding
A surface chemistry that places more hydrophobic carbon on the silica surface, increasing retention, improving selectivity, and enhancing stability—central to the design of Pursuit XRs phases.
Fully Porous Silica (FPP)
A particle type with porosity throughout the entire particle, offering strong loading capacity and robust performance—ideal for analytical and preparative-scale HPLC columns like Pursuit XRs.
USP L-Classifications
Industry-standard designations that categorize column selectivity. Pursuit XRs phases include L1 (C18), L7 (phenyl), and L11 (cyano), enabling predictable method development and regulatory compliance.
Preparative HPLC Columns
Large-diameter, high-loading columns used for purifying milligram-to-gram quantities of material. Pursuit XRs offers preparative formats with strong mechanical durability and consistent retention.
Retention Stability
The ability of a column to maintain consistent retention times across injections and batches—one of the defining strengths of Pursuit XRs silica and bonding technologies.
What is the difference between Pursuit and Pursuit XRs columns?
Pursuit columns feature traditional bonding, while Pursuit XRs columns use a high-carbon-load bonding that increases hydrophobic retention, improves resolution, and enhances performance for difficult separations, especially hydrophobic compounds.
What phases are available in the Pursuit XRs family?
Pursuit XRs HPLC columns are available in popular USP phases including L1 (C18), L7 (Phenyl), and L11 (Cyano), supporting method development and compatibility with regulated LC workflows.
Are Pursuit XRs columns suited for preparative HPLC?
Yes. Pursuit XRs columns are available in analytical and preparative dimensions, offering high loadability, rugged durability, and consistent selectivity for purification workflows.
What applications are best suited for Pursuit XRs columns?
Pursuit XRs columns are ideal for pharmaceutical, environmental, and food analysis, particularly when high hydrophobic retention, improved resolution, and robust reproducibility are required.
