Torrance, CA (June 27, 2008) – Phenomenex Inc., a global leader in the manufacture of separation science consumables, introduces Lux™ – a new line of polysaccharide-based columns for the identification and resolution of enantiomers. Lux columns are offered with two chiral stationary phases (CSPs), both of which use coated derivatized cellulose as the chiral selector. The two phases combine to create a dependable screening set with a wide range of selectivity. The Lux line is based on chiral technology that Phenomenex acquired along with the company Sepaserve GmbH, which was founded by noted expert Dr. Bezhan Chankvetadze. “Phenomenex is a dynamic organization with a strong global distribution and support network and their entry into chiral separations will be beneficial for the science,” commented Dr. Chankvetadze.
