C2V acquired by Thermo

Micro GC and MEMS products supply company Concept to Volume (C2V) has been acquired by Thermo Fisher Scientific.

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.
