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 in the Kinetex HPLC column 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
Particle Chemistry
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
