Phase Detail
Luna Phenyl-Hexyl HPLC Columns
Luna Phenyl-Hexyl HPLC columns is a hydrophobic phenyl phase that can be used for L11 USP methods

Luna Phenyl-Hexyl HPLC Columns

The Luna brand of columns and media is more than just a product line from Phenomenex. It is a pledge to provide you with the highest level of satisfaction for your chromatographic goals. The Luna Phenyl Hexyl is our most hydrophobic phenyl column and it will also provide good hydrogen accepting functionality for acidic retention.

Engineered for Stability

Luna Phenyl-Hexyl columns provide separations not achievable on C18 or C8 columns; such as increased retention for polar‚ aromatic compounds as well as reversals in analyte elution order. Luna Phenyl-Hexyl columns are a reproducible‚ extremely stable phenyl phase.
