Increased Efficiency and Resolution with Kinetex Core-Shell Technology
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.
