Phenomenex Unveils Luna Omega HILIC LC Columns

Phenomenex Inc., a leading entity in advanced technologies for separation sciences, has recently introduced its latest innovation, the Luna Omega HILIC LC columns. These columns are tailored to enhance analytical sensitivity and consistency for polar and hydrophilic compounds, responding to the rising demand within bio-pharmaceutical, metabolomic, and environmental analytical fields.

Enhanced Performance for Polar Compounds

The Luna Omega HILIC columns expand upon the established product line of Luna Omega by incorporating modern surface chemistry with Phenomenex’s extensive experience in silica. This innovative amalgamation aims to improve method reliability, resolution, and compatibility with Ultra High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) workflows.

Dr. Lauryn Bailey, the Global Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Phenomenex, states, "As method development challenges evolve, scientists require reliable HILIC performance without the complexities traditionally associated with these methods. The Luna Omega HILIC has been developed to simplify HILIC method development while maintaining the necessary selectivity and reproducibility."

The significance of HILIC chromatography continues to grow, particularly for compounds that struggle with retention issues in reverse-phase chromatography systems. This includes small polar metabolites, active pharmaceutical ingredients, nucleotides, amino acids, and other hygrophilic analytes. The Luna Omega HILIC is intelligently designed to cater to such analytical needs, ensuring predictable performance and lower variability—essential factors for regulatory environments and high-throughput laboratories.

Best Practices at HPLC 2026 Symposium

Phenomenex is set to showcase the new Luna Omega HILIC LC columns at the 55th International Symposium on High-Performance Liquid Phase Separations and Related Techniques (HPLC 2026), scheduled for June 6-11, 2026. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in discussions about best HILIC practices and the innovative characteristics of these new columns.
