Acclaim HPLC Columns

Your go-to HPLC columns for separating complex mixtures

Thermo Scientific Acclaim HPLC Columns have a smaller pore size and higher surface area to deliver the high resolution you need for high-efficiency separations. Choose from a broad variety of functional groups including:

  • Conventional reversed-phase C18 and polar embedded phases
  • Mixed-mode phases
  • Application-specific phases

Thermo Fisher Scientific designed and manufactured all Acclaim columns to tight specifications to ensure you get consistent performance.
