Chiral HPLC/SFC columns
06 April, 2009 | Phenomenex Australia
The Lux line of polysaccharide-based columns is suitable for the identification and resolution of enantiomers. Lux columns are offered with two chiral stationary phases (CSPs), both of which use coated derivatised cellulose as the chiral selector. The two phases combine to create a dependable screening set with a wide range of selectivity. The Lux line is based on chiral technology that Phenomenex acquired along with the company Sepaserve.
Antibody-based protein depletion column
06 April, 2009 | Merck
The Seppro IgY depletion platform is an antibody-based technology for processing plasma, serum and plant samples. It enables researchers to detect and analyse commonly obscured biomarkers in samples by removing highly abundant proteins.
