Singapore: Phenomenex, a global leader in the separation sciences has added an advanced product to its Kinetex line. Called the Kinetex F5, the columns are said to contain a robust pentafluorophenyl propyl (PFP) core-shell phase that overcomes reproducibility and performance limitations of existing PFP and F5 products on the market. They are an ideal solution HPLC/UHPLC development work with its combination of polar and non-polar interactions including hydrogen bonding, electrostatic, hydrophobic, aromatic and steric/planar mechanisms.
Kinetex F5 is available in 2.6 and 1.7 µm particle sizes.

"Our company truly values the customers' voice and working beyond the status quo," explained Simon Lomas, brand manager for Phenomenex. "These new Kinetex F5 columns are the result of years of research, development and customer input. With better, more accurate and higher performance products like the Kinetex core-shell F5, scientists can continue to push the current limits of separation science.
