Kinetex Core-Shell C18 HPLC Column
C18 HPLC Column - Kinetex core-shell C18 columns offer increased efficiencies over traditionally porous C18 LC columns on HPLC/UHPLC systems

Kinetex Core-Shell C18 HPLC Column

The Go-To Core-Shell Selectivity for Hydrophobic Compounds!

The well-rounded, all-purpose core-shell Kinetex C18 HPLC column produces increased efficiencies over traditional, fully porous columns. Yielding remarkable chromatographic resolution, higher peak capacities, and greater sensitivity, so labs can get the most out of every HPLC or UHPLC analysis.

  • Compatible with all Analytical HPLC/UHPLC Systems*
  • Four fully scalable particle sizes available
  • Excellent Reproducibility and Batch-to-Batch Confidence
  • USP: L1

*Kinetex C18 analytical columns are compatible with all LC system with standard LC column end-fittings threaded in 10-32. Please contact us for any questions and information about fitting compatibility and any other column internal diameters.
