Torrance, Calif. – Phenomenex Inc., global leader in the research, design and manufacture of advanced technologies for the separation sciences, introduces new mixed-mode selectivities and particle sizes for UHPLC, HPLC and preparative work in the Luna column family. The first is the new Luna Omega Polar C18 stationary phase – a unique selectivity on an innovative silica particle that delivers a wide elution window and combined high retention for polar and nonpolar analytes. This new phase is 100 percent aqueous-stable due to a polar-modified surface, providing flexibility in solvent and gradient system selection needed to achieve desired polar/non polar analyte separation. The Luna Omega Polar C18 is offered in a high-performance 1.6µm particle for UHPLC instruments as well as a low-pressure 5µm particle for direct scalability to analytical HPLC or preparative work. The 5µm particle is available in Phenomenex’s patented Axia-packed preparative columns.

Phenomenex is also introducing the 100 percent a
