Phenomenex Inc, a global leader in the research and manufacture of advanced technologies for the separation sciences, has launched Kinetex Core-Shell Technology chromatography column line in India. The Kinetex core-shell products, which have been extremely well received worldwide, meet researchers’ need to improve results and increase productivity without large capital expenditures. Phenomenex opened an office in Hyderabad last year.
With the addition of the new 5 µm particle size, HPLC and PREP LC analysts now have a simple-to-use solution for improved performance. By delivering significant gains in speed and separation efficiency over traditional fully porous columns, Kinetex columns enable chromatographers to get improved results and performance on any LC instrument platform. Now chromatographic methods in India can be completed at a fraction of the time previously required, without sacrificing performance and with potential reduction in solvent usage. Researchers who have already invested in UHPLC instrumentation can also see substantial performance gains with the Kinetex 2.6, 1.7, and 1.3 µm particles.
Simon Lomas, Brand Manager for Phenomenex, “We were able to bring the full line of UHPLC, HPLC, and PREP LC Kinetex core-shell products to Indian customers. Customers all over the world continually let us know how much they appreciate the advantages that Kinetex Core-Shell Technology brings to their HPLC/ UHPLC methods, such as improved results, significant cost savings, and increased productivity.”
With traditional, fully porous particles, efficiency decreases as flow rate increases, resulting in loss of resolution and sensitivity, which slows the overall analysis time. Kinetex Core-Shell Technology enables high resolution and sensitivity over an extended linear velocity without generating excessive back pressure, along with significantly lower limits of detection and quantitation.
Kinetex Core-Shell Technology is ideal for a wide range of applications, including food testing, environmental analysis, drug discovery and clinical research. Kinetex core-shell columns are available in four particle sizes, from 1.3 to 5 µm, and six phases. Method transfer challenges, common with traditional sub-2 µm products, are eliminated with Kinetex. Methods developed with Kinetex columns are scalable and can be transferred to any LC system.
