Demands on HPLC separations are constantly increasing with respect to separation efficiency and detection limits as well as concerning the time requirements for each analysis. Core-shell technology sets new standards for increasing efficiency in research and quality control.

Benefits of core-shell technology

Core-shell particles vs.
totally porous silica gel

Short diffusion paths

Rapid mass transfer (C term of the Van Deemter equation)

High flow velocity without peak broadening for fast LC

Narrow particle size distribution (d90/d10 ~ 1.1)

Stable packing

High heat transfer

Minimized influence of frictional heat

Column efficiency of NUCLEOSHELL® ~ 250000/m (HETP ~ 4 µm)
