Hilic for LC-MS analysis of polar
metabolites
Luna Hilic columns retain a water-enriched layer on the surface of the silica that facilitates the transfer of polar compounds into the stationary phase for increased retention
Phenomenex has introduced a new line of Luna Hilic (hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography) columns for the analysis of polar metabolites in drug discovery and development The columns deliver superior retention of polar compounds, increase MS (mass spectrometry) sensitivity, and increase laboratory throughput and productivity

Fast solid phase extraction method development
Easy to use sample preparation software program can instantly develop specific solid phase extraction (SPE) methods based on three basic criteria: sample matrix, analyte functionality, sample volume
Phenomenex's unique cross-linked diol bonded phase delivers more reproducible HILIC separations.
"Low-level polar metabolites and impurities have historically slowed development and negatively impacted mass spec sensitivity," commented Terrell Mathews, brand manager for Phenomenex.
"These new Luna Hilic columns together with our systematic method development approach offer significant advancements in the separation, quantitation and qualification of difficult to retain polar compounds.
"The phase selectivity spans an area that has always been a problem for reversed phase methods".
The new Luna Hilic columns are available packed with 3 or 5um particles and are offered in 14 different dimensions.
