Phenomenex Inc., a global leader in the research and manufacture of advanced technologies for the separation sciences, announces Kinetex F5 – a robust pentafluorophenyl propyl (PFP) core-shell phase that overcomes reproducibility and performance limitations of existing PFP and F5 products on the market. After extensive internal and external testing found that existing PFP and F5 fully porous and core-shell products produced sporadic basic compound adsorption and analyte retention time shifting, Phenomenex, in partnership with customers, redefined the industry standard and developed this new core-shell pentafluorophenyl.
The new Kinetex F5 phase delivers improved reproducibility compared to other PFP or F5 columns on the market and can significantly reduce method development time with its dynamic and responsive chemical functionality. It is an ideal solution for HPLC/UHPLC development work with its combination of polar and non-polar interactions including hydrogen bonding, electrostatic, hydrophobic, aromatic and steric/planar mechanisms. Additional versatility of this phase gives scientists ...
