Phenomenex Kinetex and Luna Omega columns in a 1 mm ID microbore format

Phenomenex has expanded its Kinetex core-shell and Luna Omega fully porous media offerings to a 1 mm ID microbore format. The stainless steel columns are compatible with micro LC systems, which operate at low flow rates and effectively separate small-volume samples. With lower solvent requirements than traditional HPLC, micro LC systems and columns produce less organic waste.

The microbore columns deliver the technological advances of the Kinetex and Luna Omega media, with better sensitivity and lower analyte detection than other offerings on the market, according to the company. Suitable applications for the 1 mm ID columns include metabolomics, biopharmaceutical and bioanalytical research, and trace contaminant analysis in food and environmental labs.

Phenomenex now offers a range of media in the updated microbore format, including Kinetex 2.6 µm XB-C18, Kinetex 1.7 µm EVO C18, Luna Omega 1.6 µm Polar C18 and Luna Omega 1.6 µm C18. Phenomenex Kinetex Core-Shell Technology and Luna Omega columns together provide a complementary UHPLC solution for good efficiency and separation power.
