Kinetex Core-Shell Technology Columns
The Core-Shell Advantage
Kinetex Core-Shell Technology delivers dramatic improvements in efficiency over conventional fully porous media which can be leveraged to increase resolution, greatly improve productivity, reduce solvent consumption, and decrease costs. Whether you are running HPLC or UHPLC methods, the Kinetex core-shell family can deliver shockingly improved performance over the current column you are using. Phenomenex designs, manufactures, and sells its very own silica and organo-silica core-shell particles. The combination of a consistent, solid high density core along with proprietary column packing technologies ensures optimum bed structure and high column performance.
- Performance gains on ANY LC system
- System-to-system and lab-to-lab method portability
- Improve the productivity of older, established methods
Kinetex Core-Shell Performance on Any LC System
Using sol-gel processing techniques that incorporate nano-structuring technology, a durable, homogeneous porous shell is grown on a solid silica core to create a Kinetex Core-Shell particle. This particle morphology results in less band broadening for all four sources of UHPLC band broadening compared to fully porous particles and thus delivers extremely high efficiencies.
- Optimized for Ultra-High Performance
- Superior Core-Shell Quality
- Core-Shell Scalability and Portability

Superior Core-Shell Quality
Uniform Particle Size Distribution
To ensure reproducible, robust, and reliable results, Kinetex columns are manufactured with high quality standards. Every step in the manufacturing process of Kinetex columns is tightly controlled for:
- Particle size distribution
- Surface and bonding homogeneity
- Selectivity quality control testing
- Inertness of the base silica
- Packing quality and consistency
