What is Core-Shell?
Core-shell represents a groundbreaking technique that has transformed chromatography. This advanced technology employs particles with a solid core enveloped by a porous shell, resulting in enhanced separation efficiency allowing for increased sample throughput or higher resolution separation of complex mixtures.
Core-shell technology is a state-of-the-art approach to producing high performance stationary phases for U/HPLC. It involves creating structures where a solid silica core is encased by a thin porous shell layer. This innovative design presents numerous advantages over traditional particle structures, making it highly valuable in many applications.
The formation of core-shell structures occurs through a process known as shell deposition. In this process, a precursor material is meticulously coated onto the solid core particles' surface. The precursor material then transforms, forming a thin, uniform shell layer around the core. The shell layer's thickness can be precisely controlled, allowing for customization based on specific needs.
Core-shell technology offers several significant benefits. One major advantage is enhanced efficiency. The unique structure of core-shell particles allows for superior separation and improved analytical performance. The shell layer's controlled porosity provides faster analysis times, and better resolution.
Moreover, core-shell technology enhances sensitivity. The shell layer minimises diffusion of the analyte bands making the peaks narrower and therefore taller. This leads to more accurate and reliable analytical results.
Phenomenex leads in core-shell technology, offering a range of innovative products tailored to meet the diverse needs of scientists and researchers. Our core-shell particles deliver outstanding performance, providing increased efficiency and sensitivity for various applications.
Benefits of Core-Shell
The benefits of core-shell materials in analytical techniques are numerous. Their limited diffusion pathway and tailored properties enable enhanced sensitivity and resolution in various analytical methods. For example, core-shell particles used as stationary phases in liquid chromatography exhibit improved separation efficiency, resulting in sharper peaks and better resolution of analytes. This allows for more accurate quantification and identification of compounds in complex samples. Additionally, the unique properties of core-shell materials provide improved mass transfer, contribute to faster analysis times and higher sample throughput.
