on Fused-Core HPLC

Based on Fused-Core™ particle technology, Ascentis Express provides the high speed and high efficiency of sub-2-µm particles, but at half of the backpressure. This lower pressure means that Ascentis Express can be run on all HPLC systems, including conventional as well as UHPLC systems.

KEY USER BENEFITS

There are five key user benefits with the Ascentis Express HPLC Columns:

1. Hyper-Fast Separations

  • Designed for high flow rates and sample throughput, especially LC-MS
  • Half of the backpressure of sub-2-µm particles

2. High-Definition Resolution

  • Twice the efficiency of 3 µm particles
  • Longer columns permit doubling the plates over sub-2-µm particles
  • Shortest analyte diffusion path

3. Super-Sensitive

  • Sharper peaks provide better Signal:Noise

4. Super-Rugged

  • Narrowest particle size distribution
  • 2µm porosity frits like most rugged conventional columns

5. A Family of selectivities that rivals the competition

  • C18, RP-Amide, Phenyl-Hexyl, C8, HILIC
  • Match competitor selectivitiy and performance at lower pressure

Available in C18, C8, RP-Amide, HILIC, (NEW!) Phenyl-Hexyl; also nano/capillary sizes

Ascentis Express C18 and C8 provide classic reversed-phase selectivity with performance benefits for Fast HPLC and High Resolution HPLC. Ascentis Express HILIC provides all of the benefits of Fused-Core particle technology to the emerging technique of HILIC mode chromatography. Ascentis Express RP-Amide and Phenyl-Hexyl provides alternate selectivity to reversed-phase separations.
