Biotage^® SNAP Ultra
Spherical silica flash chromatography cartridges

The highest purification performance

Biotage SNAP Ultra flash chromatography cartridges deliver the highest purification performance available industry leading peak resolution, universal plug and play compatibility, and low back pressures all from the company that defined modern flash chromatography.

Advantages

• Biotage HP-Sphere™ spherical silica with 40% more surface area delivers the highest sample loading available to reduce purification costs
• Spherical 25 µm particles deliver the best peak resolution and highest concentration fractions reducing solvent evaporation time
• Removable cap provides internal sample loading, both liquid and dry to improve purification performance
• Samplet® cartridge compatibility to pre-concentrate and eliminate solvent dissolution
• Fast flow rates in all types of viscous solvents with spherical media
• Medical-grade polypropylene reduces leachables that can contaminate purified compounds
• Individually lot numbered for traceability
• Designed to be the perfect complement to Biotage Isolera™ flash chromatography systems
• Universal fit onto all flash systems with Luer inlet and outlet connections

Standard flash cartridges use basic performance, irregular silica resulting in higher back pressure due to fines .	Biotage SNAP Ultra cartridges utilize spherical Biotage HP-Sphere silica delivering 40% more surface area and low back pressure.

The highest performance available
Precision engineered Biotage SNAP Ultra cartridges deliver double the purification capacity utilizing small particle spherical silica with an 40% increase in surface area. This proprietary silica reduces peak width and provides higher concentration fractions with less fraction volume.

Designed for the Biotage Isolera™
Biotage Isolera software and Biotage SNAP Ultra cartridges work together as a system to produce pure compounds the first time. Luer lock inlet and outlet ports ensure robust connection to the Isolera or any other flash chromatography system. 

Wide range of sizes for scalability
Biotage SNAP Ultra cartridges are available in sizes from 10–340 g providing a a scale-up path from milligram loads to multi-gram loads without gradient modification.

Biotage SNAP Ultra silica has 40% higher surface area than other spherical flash silica and delivers increased loading capacity. At 4% load (4 grams sample per 100 grams of silica) a 25 g Biotage SNAP Ultra cartridge (left) provides an equivalent separation as a competitive 25 g, 30 µm silica cartridge with a 2% sample load.

Performance like this means that cartridges can be loaded with twice the amount of sample to be purified. That means you can use a cartridge that is half the size that you would normally use. A smaller, high surface area cartridge takes less time and less solvent to do the job of a cartridge twice the size.

• Higher loading per gram of silica means smaller cartridges can be used to perform any separation
• Smaller cartridges use less solvent and require less time
• Chemists produce more compounds in less time
• Less solvent use also means less generated waste – a major ecological improvement
