Easy Method Transfer

Easily transfer methods developed on Kinetex core-shell columns to ANY LC system, anywhere in the world. Because Kinetex 1.7 µm, 2.6 µm, & 5 µm particles are completely scalable, you can freely move between HPLC, UHPLC, and PREP LC systems. Now, you can develop a method on a standard HPLC system that can easily be transferred to a UHPLC system – and vice versa!

Core-Shell Science

Using sol-gel processing techniques that incorporate nano-structuring technology, a durable, homogeneous porous shell is grown on a solid silica core to create a core-shell particle. This particle morphology results in less band broadening compared to fully porous particles and thus delivers extremely high efficiencies.

Core-shell Technology Results in Less Band Broadening

The Van Deemter equation describes the three sources of band broadening (A - Eddy diffusion, B - longitudinal diffusion, C - mass transfer).

In order to maximize efficiency, sources of band broadening need to be minimized. With core-shell particles, all three sources (A, B, & C) are reduced compared to fully porous particles as seen in the graphs below*. This reduction in band broadening results in chromatographic separations with better resolution, higher sensitivity, and improved peak capacities.
