What is the current, commercially available smallest particle diameters for

A: reversed phase LC
B: ion exchange LC


Also, with these values in mind, what are pressure limits of the respective pumps?

what are smallest column lengths with these particle diameters?

thanks!

take a look at the internet sites of lc vendors:

you will find particel size for nano rp-lc down to 1.7µm and column size of 75µmx5mm

At Waters, you will find UPLC, which uses porous particles of 1.7 micron at pressures up to 1000 bar (15000 psi). Standard column lengths and diameters are 5 and 10 cm, with 2 mm and 1 mm i.d. Four different column chemistries are available. Alternatively, if you are interested in very slow flow rates, the nanoACQUITY system would be your choice.

What is your interest?
