Restek Viva™ Wide Pore 300 Å C18 HPLC Columns
High-Performance C18 Columns for Protein and Peptide Analysis
The Restek Viva™ Wide Pore 300 Å C18 HPLC column series has been specifically engineered for the reversed-phase separation of proteins, peptides, and other high molecular weight biomolecules. By combining a high-purity silica support with an optimized wide pore structure and a robust monomeric C18 bonded phase, Viva C18 columns deliver outstanding chromatographic performance for both routine bioanalytical applications and advanced method development.
Designed for LC-UV and LC-MS workflows, Viva C18 columns provide excellent retention, high recovery, and exceptional reproducibility for peptide mapping, intact protein analysis, and biopharmaceutical characterization.
This unique design delivers enhanced retention, improved resolution, and exceptional chromatographic performance for biomolecule analysis, making Viva columns an ideal choice for biopharmaceutical research, proteomics, peptide characterization, and LC-MS applications.

Optimized 300 Å Wide Pore Silica
Large biomolecules require sufficient pore accessibility to fully interact with the stationary phase. While many conventional wide pore silica materials are specified with an average pore size of 300 Å, they often contain a broad pore size distribution, reducing the effective surface area available to proteins and peptides.
Restek Viva™ Wide Pore columns are manufactured using a carefully controlled silica production process that creates a narrow pore size distribution centered around 300 Å. This design provides greater accessible surface area for large molecules, resulting in improved analyte retention, enhanced mass transfer, and superior chromatographic efficiency.
General-Purpose C18 Selectivity for Biomolecules
The Viva™ C18 stationary phase is a conventional monomeric octadecylsilane (USP L1) chemistry that offers balanced hydrophobic retention for a broad range of biomolecules. It is ideally suited for the separation of peptides, small proteins, recombinant proteins, and many therapeutic biomolecules.
Its versatile selectivity makes Viva C18 an excellent first-choice column for:
- Peptide mapping
- Protein purity testing
- Intact protein analysis
- Biopharmaceutical characterization
- Enzymatic digest analysis
- Proteomics research
- LC-MS method development
- Quality control laboratories
The end-capped stationary phase minimizes unwanted secondary interactions, promoting excellent peak symmetry and reproducible retention for both acidic and moderately basic analytes.
