Ensures Increased Durability and Versatility for High-sensitivity Biomarker Analysis

TORRANCE, Calif., June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Phenomenex Inc., a Danaher Company, a global leader in the research and manufacture of advanced technologies for the separation sciences, has announced the expansion of its product portfolio at ASMS with the introduction of 0.15 mm ID Micro LC Columns and Micro Traps, specifically designed for low-flow applications. The new core-shell based micro columns are designed to address the daily challenges faced by proteomics, metabolomics, and oligonucleotide characterization scientists, delivering exceptional performance in low-flow applications. Optimized to operate efficiently at flow rates of 1-5 µL/min, these new columns represent a significant advancement compared to traditional microflow columns. The new 0.15 mm ID columns are available in Kinetex 2.6 µmXB-C18, EVO C18, and F5 variants, and Luna Omega 1.7 µm PS-C18 (coming soon), suitable for a variety of reversed-phase applications. 

Dr. Tasso Milliotis, Principal Scientist at AstraZeneca, has already experienced the remarkable benefits of these new columns: 

"The new 150 x 0.15 mm capillary LC column (Kinetex 2.6 µm XB-C18, 100 Å) delivers remarkable robustness and high separation performance under demanding conditions for high-sensitivity biomarker analysis. Its female connectors on both ends ensure seamless compatibility, making it easy to integrate into any low-flow LC-MS system. Overall, this capillary column combines durability, efficiency, versatility, and has become our standard column for high-sensitivity applications." 

To add greater separation power to specific applications, Phenomenex also released new micro and nano traps, featuring integrated fittings for easy installation, ensuring seamless compatibility with a broad range of instrument providers. Extensive phase selectivity options are available to be combined with micro LC columns, bridging the gap between nano and micro flow applications. Designed to provide the best performance for low-dispersion separations, these columns withstand pressure up to 15,000 psi, offering low solvent consumption and increased sensitivity for more robust and precise analyses.
