I usually found it difficult to distinguish between ods c-18 and bds c-18
columns. Both involve octadecasilane chain.
Finally I came to know that ods contains free -OH functional group while bds i.e. base deactivated silica column has -OH groups deactivated or blocked. This is the reason why bds columns are also called as endcap columns.
The questions arise now:
1. We have base deactivated c-8 columns.
Do we have base active c-8 columns?
2. If not then why?
3. Can we use bds c-18 in place of ods c-18 column?
4. What happens if we do so?
