... the original fused-core particles

Hyper-fast, super rugged (U)HPLC columns

The fused-core* particle technology was specially developed to produce hyper-fast chromatographic separation while avoiding the uncertainties associated with UHPLC. The father of the technique is dr. Jack Kirkland, widely regarded as one of the "founders" of HPLC.

Fused-Core Particle

BACK PRESSURE - significantly less compared to UHPLC columns
CONVENTIONAL HPLC EQUIPMENT can be used with near-UHPLC performance
2um INLET FRIT eliminates frit plugging problem
FAST SEPARATION at high flow rates maintaining the resolving power

Chemistries

HALO C8 phase 
Separations are due primarily to hydrophobic interactions and differences in hydrophobicity among analytes. Excellent for a broad range of analytes.
HALO C18 phase 
Separations are due primarily to hydrophobic interactions and differences in hydrophobicity among analytes. Excellent for a broad range of analytes.
HALO C18aq phase 
 Resistant to dewetting and compatible with 100% aqueous mobile phases.
Retains polar molecules more than classic C18 phases.
     
HALO C30 phase 
High shape selectivity for hydrophobic, long-chain, structurally related isomers.
100% aqueous compatibility.
HALO Biphenyl phase 
Separation of polar compounds with a combination of hydrophobic, aromatic, and polar selectivities.
HALO Phenyl-Hexyl phase 
Separations occur due to hydrophobic and pi-pi interactions. Enhanced retention and selectivity for aromatic and unsaturated analytes (especially those with electron-withdrawing groups and halogens). Compatible with highly aqueous mobile phases.
     
HALO RP-Amide phase 
Retention and selectivity due to hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding interactions. Less retentive than C18 and C8, except for analytes with proton-donor groups. Compatible with 100% aqueous mobile phases.
HALO PFP phase 
Separations take place due to multiple types and degrees of analyte interactions including hydrophobic, pi-pi, dipole-dipole, and hydrogen bonding. Can be used in HILIC mode (with more than 80% acetonitrile in mobile phase). Enhanced selectivity for stereoisomers. Compatible with highly aqueous mobile phases.
HALO PAH phase 
This trifunctional, un-endcapped C18 bonded phase has been specifically designed to provide fast, efficient, selective separations of PAH compounds.
     
HALO ES-CN phase 
Moderately polar phase for alternate selectivity.
Steric-protected silane for low pH stability.
Fully end-capped for neutral pH applications.
HALO HILIC phase 
Can be used in both HILIC and normal-phase modes.
Enhanced sensitivity and peak shape for LC-MS analyses of basic analytes.
HALO penta-HILIC phase 
Provides superior retention to silica HILIC and amide HILIC phases for acids and zwitterionic analytes.
