Kinetex PS C18 Core-Shell HPLC Columns

Improved Selectivity and Performance For Bases

The Kinetex PS C18 is a high efficiency, multi interaction selectivity C18 with a positive surface modification. The column demonstrates enhanced selectivity and improved peak shape for basic compounds under typical reversed phase conditions.

Compatible with All Analytical HPLC/UHPLC Systems*
100 % Aqueous Mobile Phases Stable
C18 (USP:L1) with Improved Peak Shape for Bases

*Kinetex analytical columns are compatible with all LC system with standard LC column end-fittings threaded in 10-32. Please contact us at Phenomenex.com/chat for any questions and information about fitting compatibility and any other column internal diameters.

Overview

Selectivity for Polar Basic Compounds

A multi-interaction, 100 % aqueous C18 column that provides great peak shape for basic compounds under low pH conditions and without sacrificing hydrophobic selectivity.

Unique Polar Basic Selectivity

The Kinetex PS C18 combines a 100 % aqueous stability C18 stationary phase, with a unique positive surface charge, and the core-shell advantage to deliver both excellent performance and reversed phase selectivity. Upgrade your traditional fully porous particle to a Kinetex PS C18 Core-Shell particle to take full polar advantage of your systems analytical capabilities. Under identical running conditions and analytes, the Kinetex PS C18 column below demonstrates unique polar selectivity with peaks associated with nortriptyline and 3-methyl 4-nitrobenzoic acid.

Take Advantage of the Right Phase for the Application

While traditional alkyl C18 phases are prone to peak tailing for basic compounds due to of secondary interactions occurring at the silica surface, the surface of the Kinetex PS C18 was designed with positive charges that serve to repel basic species and deliver consistently sharper peak shape for basic compounds.
