The proprietary column phase enables efficient separation of anionic and cationic pesticides using a single column and rapid conditioning, to provide robust analysis.
Phenomenex Inc., a global leader in the research and manufacture of advanced separation science technologies, announced the Luna Polar Pesticide HPLC Column, which features a proprietary phase that efficiently separates cationic and anionic pesticides from non-derived food, feed, air, and water samples, along with rapid conditioning and robust ion analysis pesticides.
The Luna Polar Pesticide HPLC Column is designed to help solve the most common challenges that food safety analysts face on a daily basis: robust analyte determination due to matrix complexity and polarity, time-consuming process due to the high number of injections required for column conditioning, time-consuming sample preparation due to the need for derivation, and the need to use separate columns to determine analysis and cationic pesticides from a sample.
The versatile selectivity of the Luna Polar Pesticide HPLC column allows separation of cationic and anionic pesticides from non-derived samples on the same column. The fully porous column particle morphology allows for high sample loading. Its unique selectivity allows for high retention of polar analytes, rapid equilibration, use in positive or negative mode, and 100% aqueous and organic stability. The pore size of the 100Å particles has proven to be optimal for pesticide analysis, and the 8% carbon loading provides a great balance of polar and non-polar retention.
Studies conducted in collaboration with renowned laboratories and experienced food analysts demonstrate the robustness and versatility of Luna Polar Pesticides. Dr. Giacomo Napolitano, Laboratory Manager at Lifeanalytics Srl, stated that “Polar Luna pesticides have significantly reduced analysis time thanks to their rapid rebalancing! This column has improved our analyzes of polar pesticides.
The new Luna Polar Pesticide HPLC column is available in different sizes to meet the needs of analysts: 30 x 2.1 mm, 50 x 2.1 mm, 100 x 2.1 mm, 150 x 2.1 mm and 150 x 3.0mm. The column is compatible with the SecurityGuard™ ULTRA cartridge for column protection Phenomenex.
