Phenomenex has launched a Phenyl-Hexyl phase that is claimed to offer a 'unique selectivity' for the separation of compounds that are difficult to resolve using traditional phenyl phases.
The new Phenyl-Hexyl columns complement the existing Kinetex core-shell HPLC/UHPLC column phases and are claimed to be especially effective for resolving aromatic hydrocarbons, such as tricyclic antidepressants and explosives.
Like C18, Phenyl-Hexyl is suitable for a wide range of applications, including the resolution of moderate hydrophobic compounds.
Kinetex Phenyl-Hexyl is offered in 2.6- and 1.7-micron particle sizes.
