Kinetex Core-Shell C18 HPLC Column
The Go-To Core-Shell Selectivity for Hydrophobic Compounds!
The well-rounded, all-purpose core-shell Kinetex C18 HPLC column produces high efficiencies compared to traditional, fully porous columns. HPLC C18 columns come in various configurations to ensure outstanding performance and are recognized as the most retentive among alkyl-bonded phases. When used with UHPLC systems, the 2.6 µm size achieves similar performance to fully porous sub-2 µm particles but at significantly lower backpressure. Yielding remarkable chromatographic resolution, higher peak capacities, and greater sensitivity, the Kinetex C18 columns maximize the efficiency of every HPLC or UHPLC analysis.
Advantages of Kinetex Core-Shell C18 HPLC Columns
- Compatible with all Analytical HPLC/UHPLC Systems*
- Four fully scalable particle sizes available
- Excellent Reproducibility and Batch-to-Batch Confidence
- USP: L1
*Kinetex C18 analytical columns are compatible with all LC systems with standard LC column end-fittings threaded in 10-32. Please contact us for any questions and information about fitting compatibility and any other column internal diameters.
