Optimized for Performance Gains from UHPLC to HPLC to PREP LC
Continuous improvement in particle technology means greater performance and productiv-
ity for all your methods. Traditional fully porous particles leave much to be desired when
compared to current core-shell particles. 5 µm and 3 µm fully porous particles give typical
HPLC backpressures however, their efficiencies and ability to hold performance drastically
decreases at higher flow rates. Newer fully porous sub-2 µm particles offer improved perfor-
mance, but at the cost of the need for high-pressure capable instrumentation.
Phenomenex has always strived to make sure that you have all the available solutions to
get the most out of your current system and method. With Kinetex
®
, this is no different. The
5 µm Kinetex core-shell particle gives 3 µm efficiencies at 5 µm HPLC pressures, the 2.6 µm
core-shell particle allows for the potential of sub-2 µm performance on HPLC or UHPLC
systems, and the 1.7 and 1.3 µm particles offer incredible efficiency and performance gains
on UHPLC systems.
Isn't it time you tried this complete core-shell solution in
your lab?
