Phenomenex has introduced Guard Finder, an interactive online tool that helps users quickly select column protection products for over 41,000 HPLC, UHPLC and preparative HPLC columns.
The simple and flexible interface allows the user to search by brand, part number, technique or column phase. In seconds, the tool matches input with the recommended Phenomenex column protection. It can be accessed at http://www.phenomenex.com/GuardIt.
The tool recommends column filters and SecurityGuard cartridges that protect against the damaging effects of chemical contaminants and microparticulates introduced by the sample, mobile phase or system, which can negatively impact column lifetime, method sensitivity, quantitation and peak identification. Column protection also reduces troubleshooting and downtime.
