SUMICHIRAL Phase Families
Improved Pirkle / Amide Type
OA-2000 and OA-2500 series use low molecular weight chiral selectors on high-purity silica. They are often considered for aromatic esters, carboxylic acids, alcohols, ketones, profen-type drugs and related compounds.
Urea Type
OA-3100, OA-3200, OA-3300 and OA-4000 family phases expand selectivity for carboxylic acids, amino-acid derivatives, amines, amides, amino alcohols, esters and phosphamides. Several related phases can help reverse elution order.
Ligand Exchange Type
OA-5000, OA-6000 and OA-6100 series use copper-ion ligand exchange mechanisms and are useful for amino acids, hydroxy acids, amino alcohols and amines.
Host-Guest Type
OA-7000, OA-7700 and OA-8000 provide cyclodextrin or crown ether selectivity for aromatic compounds, amines, primary amines and ammonium-type compounds.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are SUMICHIRAL OA columns used for?
SUMICHIRAL OA columns are used for direct HPLC separation of optical isomers and for checking enantiomeric purity in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, fragrance, biochemical and quality-control laboratories.
Which SUMICHIRAL column should I start with?
Selection depends on the analyte functional group and method mode. OA-2500 and OA-3300 are common starting points for acidic compounds and profen-type drugs, OA-4000 series is useful for normal phase amines and amides, OA-5000 to OA-6100 are ligand-exchange choices for amino acids and related compounds, and OA-7000/7700 are cyclodextrin phases for aromatic and host-guest separations.
Are prices shown on the website?
No. The website provides product information, phase guidance, specifications and inquiry forms. Current quotation, delivery and availability can be requested from Akira Analytical Solutions Pvt. Ltd.
Can Akira supply SUMICHIRAL columns in India?
Yes. The site presents SUMICHIRAL columns for customers in India through Akira Analytical Solutions Pvt. Ltd. for quotation and technical coordination.
Why do some SUMICHIRAL phases have R, S, L or I versions?
Related versions can provide different selector chemistry, ion-bonding behavior or inverse elution order. This helps analysts confirm peak identity, improve impurity detection and choose the most suitable elution sequence.
Are guard columns available?
The 4.0 mm I.D. × 10 mm formats listed in the specification tables are presented as guard or method-screening sizes. Customers can request compatibility guidance for guard protection and filters.
Are SUMICHIRAL columns suitable for LC-MS?
Certain SUMICHIRAL OA phases can be used with LC-MS-friendly non-aqueous ammonium acetate/methanol conditions. LC-MS suitability depends on the phase, analyte and mobile phase.
Are SUMICHIRAL columns suitable for SFC?
Some normal-phase SUMICHIRAL OA series, especially the OA-2000 and OA-4000 families, are presented as suitable for SFC method development when compatible conditions are used.
What information should be sent for a quotation?
Send the required phase, column dimension, quantity, application or compound class, delivery location and any method requirements. Akira can then respond with quotation and availability.
Can special sizes be requested?
Products not shown in standard tables may be treated as special order items. Customers can submit the desired dimensions and phase for confirmation.
