Eksigent, provider of capillary HPLC systems and Phenomenex, manufacturer of HPLC columns, announce a strategic marketing and technology collaboration to develop columns optimized for capillary HPLC
Phenomenex will offer a line of capillary HPLC columns that are tested and optimised for use on Eksigent's ExpressLC instruments.
Phenomenex will also now use Eksigent systems in its QC processes for capillary columns.
The collaboration will provide Eksigent customers with a wider range of columns, including the Luna, Synergi, Gemini and Jupiter brands from Phenomenex as well as Eksigent's own ChromXP line, all of which are optimized to operate at the high linear flow velocities of the ExpressLC systems.
The companies will also work together to present seminars and application articles highlighting research using Phenomenex columns on Eksigent systems.
"As a world leader in HPLC column technology, Phenomenex is ideally suited to work with us in optimising new offerings for our customers," explained Phil DeLand, senior product manager for Eksigent.
"This working agreement with Phenomenex will expand the choice of columns that can deliver maximum speed and resolution at high linear velocities".
"The combination of Eksigent microfluidic technology and Phenomenex column chemistries delivers high-speed, high-resolution separations for pharmaceutical research and development," commented Emmet Welch, senior manager of product development at Phenomenex.
"This agreement also expands the range of platforms with which Phenomenex columns are compatible".
