All ranges given are estimates based on our knowledge and experience. please note the following aspects:
(1) pH stability, long term refers to the pH interval where the gel is stable over a long period of time without adverse effects on its subsequent chromatographic performance.
(2) pH stability, short term refers to the pH interval for re-generation, cleaning-in-place and sanitization procedures.
