Achieve better separation efficiency under highly aqueous conditions
- Retention of hydrophilic compounds that are difficult to retain by Reversed Phase Liquid Chromatography (RPLC)
- Improved sensitivity with MS detection (due to more efficient desolvation of the analytes)
- Compatibility with SPE extracts which are often in 100% organic solvent
- Low back pressures due to the low viscosity of the organic-rich mobile phases
- Separation efficiency of very polar analytes in HILIC better than in RPLC under highly aqueous mobile phase
