Phenomenex has extended its Lux chiral media line to meet the needs of preparative chromatography applications.
Lux Cellulose-1 and -2, unique and complementary chiral stationary phases, are now available in 10-micron particle size for batch preparative chromatography.
The new 10-micron particles are available both in Axia-packed preparative columns, and in bulk, enabling customers to pack their own columns for the most cost-effective purification methods.
Lux chiral phases Cellulose-1, -2, -3 and -4 are already offered in 20-micron bulk media for use in batch preparative and simulated moving bed chromatography.
According to the company, packing columns with new 10-micron particles delivers increased efficiencies by enabling the use of shorter columns without compromising results. This saves time and reduces solvent consumption.
Lux Cellulose-1 uses cellulose tris (3, 5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) as the chiral selector.
Lux Cellulose-2 provides a second chiral selector, cellulose tris (3-chloro-4-methylphenylcarbamate), providing a unique chlorinated stationary phase with complementary selectivity to Lux Cellulose-1.
