Delivering significant improvements in speed and separation efficiency over traditional 3- and 5-micron columns, Kinetex enables chromatographers to get performance comparable to sub-2-micron columns on existing LC instruments. With Kinetex, researchers can achieve UHPLC results on any LC system, completing chromatographic methods in a fraction of the time previously required, without sacrificing performance.
"With this new calculator, chromatographers are able to instantly preview the benefits Kinetex columns can bring to their specific methods," said Jeremy Bierman, brand manager for Phenomenex. "This takes the guesswork out of choosing the best column for their method and adjusting their running conditions for optimum performance."
Initially, Kinetex core-shell columns are available in two particle sizes - 2.6- and 1.7- micron - and three chemistries - C18, PFP and HILIC. Kinetex 2.6-micron columns deliver separation efficiencies that match or exceed the performance of traditional fully porous sub-2-micron columns. The Kinetex 1.7-micron is the first ever sub-2-micron core-shell technology and delivers efficiency gains of 15 to 20 percent over traditional fully porous sub-2-micron columns.
Method transfer challenges, common with traditional sub-2-micron products, are eliminated with Kinetex. Methods developed with either 2.6- or 1.7-micron Kinetex columns are scalable and can be transferred to any LC system using the 2.6-micron column, regardless of the instrument's pressure capability.
