Summary

•Fused-Core particle provide a „kinetic advantage“• Higher efficiency on any HPLC system

–2,7 µm have 2x the efficiency compared to 3 µm particles–2,7 µm have 3x the efficiency compared to 5 µm particles–2,7 µm have half backpressure compared to sub-2 µm particles –5 µm have the efficiency of 3 µm particles at same backpressure as

fully porous 5 µm particles• Increase of the column length for increased efficiency• Can be used on any HPLC system

39

Summary

•Fused-Core particle provide a „kinetic advantage“• Shorter analysis times maintaining the efficiency

–2,7 µm have same efficiency like 3 µm columns (1/2 column length)–2,7 µm have same efficiency like 5 µm columns (1/3 column length)–2,7 µm have same speed and efficiency like sub-2 µm columns at

half backpressure => Increase of flow rate and speed–5 µm have same efficiency like 3 µm columns (1/2 column length),

but with less backpressure• Ruggedness and durability as known from 5 µm columns
