Phenomenex Unveils Advanced 0.15 mm ID Micro-LC Columns for Precision Low-Flow Applications

Phenomenex Inc., a leader in the development of advanced technologies for separation sciences and a subsidiary of Danaher Corporation, recently introduced groundbreaking micro-LC columns. These new columns feature an inner diameter (ID) of just 0.15 mm and are specifically designed for precise low-flow applications in scientific research.

The launch was highlighted at the ASMS conference, demonstrating how these micro-LC columns are engineered to address the daily challenges faced by researchers in proteomics, metabolomics, and oligonucleotide characterization. The core-shell based micro-columns optimized for flow rates of 1-5 µL/min represent a significant innovation over traditional micro-flow columns, ensuring excellent performance and reliability.

Among the various configurations available, the new columns include options such as Kinetex 2.6 µm XB-C18, EVO C18, and F5, along with the upcoming Luna Omega 1.7 µm PS-C18. These columns are well-suited for numerous reversed-phase applications, making them versatile tools in biochemical analysis.

Dr. Tasso Milliotis, a Principal Scientist at AstraZeneca, shared his insights on the performance benefits of the new micro-LC columns. He remarked, "The new 150 x 0.15 mm capillary LC column offers remarkable robustness and high separation performance under challenging conditions, crucial for sensitive biomarker analysis." He noted that the female connections at both ends ensure seamless compatibility with various low-flow LC-MS systems, resulting in easier integration into existing setups.

The introduction of these micro-columns signifies not only an advancement in separation technology but also a step towards increasing efficiency and sensitivity in research applications. In addition to the micro-columns, Phenomenex launched new micro and nano traps equipped with integrated connectors for easy installation that guarantee compatibility with a wide array of instrument manufacturers. These innovations aim to bridge the gap between nano and micro-flow applications, demonstrating Phenomenex's commitment to facilitating cutting-edge research and analysis in analytical chemistry.

Furthermore, these columns are designed to excel in low-dispersion separations while withstanding pressure up to 15,000 psi, which allows for minimal solvent consumption along with enhanced sensitivity. This combination fosters more robust and precise analyses, addressing the increasing demand for high-performance separation solutions in laboratories.
