An ultra-pure silica gel of more than 99.99% purity is used for
the COSMOSIL SL-II packed column series. Thus, chemical
compounds having carbonyl or phenol hydroxyl groups that could not
be clearly separated using conventional silica gel columns can be
separated with improved reproducibility and with better baseline
resolution.
