Pittcon 2010

For many in the world of chromatography and separation science in general, it has been a long 12 months to say the least. With an economic recession gripping the nation and causing secondary effects such as the well-documented "Great Acetonitrile Shortage of 2009," it is easy to see why many readers will not be sorry to see the end of 2009, and why they will be all too happy to welcome in 2010.

Incognito answers Part 1's remaining questions to help you achieve optimized solid-phase extraction.

The combination of small particle size and narrow particle size distribution, coupled with the significantly shorter diffusion path provided by the Kinetex™ core-shell particle, results in a material that yields significantly increased column efficiencies and chromatographic resolution. This is a benefit for separation scientists looking to achieve better performance, especially with complex separations containing many compounds and very closely eluting compounds so that accurate identification and quantitation can be achieved.
