Phenomenex Kinetex

Phenomenex Kinetex is an advanced series of liquid chromatography (LC) columns engineered to deliver ultra-high performance across both HPLC and UHPLC systems. Introduced in 2009, these columns leverage innovative core-shell silica technology to enhance separation efficiency and speed without necessitating significant capital investment in new instrumentation.

Key features include:

• Core-shell particle design: Provides up to three times the efficiency of traditional fully porous 5 µm columns and double that of 3 µm columns, resulting in sharper peaks and improved resolution.

• Versatile particle sizes: Available in 1.3 µm, 1.7 µm, 2.6 µm, and 5 µm, accommodating various analytical needs and system compatibilities.

• Multiple chemistries: Offers a range of stationary phases, including C18, PFP, and HILIC, to suit diverse separation requirements.

• Reduced backpressure: Achieves high resolution and sensitivity over extended linear velocities without generating excessive backpressure, facilitating faster analyses.

• Cost efficiency: Enhances productivity by reducing solvent consumption and analysis time, leading to lower operational costs.

These columns are widely utilised in pharmaceutical research, food safety analysis, environmental testing, and forensic toxicology. They are commonly employed in university laboratories, biomedical research centres, and clinical environments. The Kinetex series remains relevant and in active use, offering scalable solutions that adapt to evolving analytical demands.
