Major Products/Services
Signature products recently introduced include:
- Kinetex® : Based on core-shell silica technology, Kinetex HPLC/UHPLC columns deliver ultra-high performance on any LC system. Extending the selectivity range of the Kinetex portfolio, Kinetex C8 brings the benefits of core-shell technology to USP L7 and other C8 column methods, and Kinetex XB-C18 incorporates protective di-iso-butyl side chains to allow superior peak shape and enhanced separation of basic compounds.
- Zebron™ ZB-1XT SimDist: This metal GC column is specially designed for simulated distillation analyses in petrochemical applications. It features Phenomenex's unique Glass Infusion™ technology, ensuring consistent phase coating and reproducibility. Zebron ZB-1XT SimDist columns are rugged and provide documented efficiency gains of up to 70 percent over other comparable metal columns on the market.
- Lux® Chiral: Engineered to provide a straightforward approach to enantiomeric recognition and separation through chromatography, Lux offers a broad range of polysaccharide-based chiral selectors for HPLC, preparative chromatography, and SFC.

Determining Enhanced Sensitivity to Odors due to Anxiety-Associated Chemosignals with GC
May 8th 2025Based on their hypothesis that smelling anxiety chemosignals can, like visual anxiety induction, lead to an increase in odor sensitivity, a joint study between the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (Erlangen, Germany) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging (Freising, Germany) combined behavioral experiments, odor profile analysis by a trained panel, and instrumental analysis of odorants (gas chromatography-olfactometry) and volatiles (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry).
Investigating 3D-Printable Stationary Phases in Liquid Chromatography
May 7th 20253D printing technology has potential in chromatography, but a major challenge is developing materials with both high porosity and robust mechanical properties. Recently, scientists compared the separation performances of eight different 3D printable stationary phases.
Detecting Hyper-Fast Chromatographic Peaks Using Ion Mobility Spectrometry
May 6th 2025Ion mobility spectrometers can detect trace compounds quickly, though they can face various issues with detecting certain peaks. University of Hannover scientists created a new system for resolving hyper-fast gas chromatography (GC) peaks.
