The Kinetex Core-Shell media is designed for preparative HPLC and SFC in lab-scale purification.
Kinetex 5-micron particles in four phases - -C18, XB-C18, Phenyl-Hexyl and PFP - are now offered in 21.2 mm ID Axia packing.
The company claims this will deliver longer column lifetime, higher efficiencies, improved performance and high reproducibility, compared to conventionally packed columns for lab-scale prep chromatography.
Introduced only a few months ago, Kinetex 5-micron core-shell media is the largest particle in the family and delivers better performance than 5-micron fully porous offerings, with no increase in backpressure.
Phenomenex claims that the new 5-micron media provides 60 to 90 percent higher average efficiencies compared to the same size fully porous columns with little to no method development.
The Phenomenex patented Axia packing and hardware technology, introduced in 2005, was designed to eliminate the drawbacks of traditional slurry packing, deliver uniform bed density and dramatic performance advances
Kinetex Core-Shell Technology in the Axia preparative format is claimed to deliver a performance advantage to customers in pharmaceutical and natural products development, who can now use scalable core-shell solutions from analytical stage UHPLC or HPLC methods to purification.
