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:

  • 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.
  • Improved Sensitivity: The shell layer minimizes diffusion of the analyte bands, making the peaks narrower and therefore taller. This leads to more accurate and reliable analytical results.
  • Versatility: Core-shell particles are compatible with various sample matrices and mobile phases, making them suitable for different analytical methods.
  • Customization: The shell layer's thickness can be precisely controlled, allowing for tailored properties based on specific needs.

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.
