Reversed Phase LC Column Selection Tool and Online Application

Phenomenex, Inc introduced the Reversed Phase Column Screener at Pittcon 2011. This is a resource that helps chromatographers select the most effective HPLC or UHPLC column for their methods from the company’s extensive offering. Phenomenex provides a wide range of reversed phase columns, including flagship brands Kinetex®, Gemini-NX®, Jupiter®, Luna®, Synergi®, Axia™ and Onyx™. Based on decades of customer support and research, the Reversed Phase Column Screener allows users to search by compound characteristics, pharmacopeia classification, column used, or application. The comprehensive tool provides a convenient way to reference and access application notes on the Phenomenex web site. The Screener can be accessed online at http://www.ColumnMatch.com, where a hard copy may also be requested.

When the chromatographer enters compound characteristics, the Screener will provide primary and secondary recommendations for fully porous particle columns with complementary selectivities, and a core-shell particle option for ultra-high performance. Recommended mobile phase starting conditions are also provided. Users in the United States can order columns directly from this site. Chromatographers who search by application will find a range of options including amino acids, food additives, veterinary drugs and steroids. Once a relevant application has been identified, a complete method note is provided. Users may also search by USP classification to determine which columns they can use to stay within method guidelines.
