Thermo Fisher Scientific Showcases Syncronis Range of HPLC Columns at Pittcon 2011

Consistent, predictable separations; column after column; time after time

ATLANTA (March 14, 2011) – Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, today announced the new Thermo Scientific Syncronis HPLC column range. The new range delivers consistent, predictable separations, from run to run and column to column. Thermo Fisher will showcase the Syncronis HPLC column range at Thermo Scientific booth 2835 during Pittcon 2011, being held March 13-18, in Atlanta.

One of the goals for a chromatographer when developing new methods is achieving consistent, reproducible separations. Selecting a highly reproducible HPLC column is essential to attaining this goal. The new Syncronis column range delivers exceptional reproducibility by providing highly pure, high surface-area silica, dense bonding and double endcapping, all controlled and characterized through rigorous testing.

Newly enhanced, automated column packing methods used within the Syncronis range deliver greater consistency, and every column is individually tested to ensure that it meets required specifications. These extensive testing and quality control procedures ensure the delivery of a completely consistent product.

Syncronis columns are available with 5 µm particle size for conventional HPLC applications and with 1.7 µm particle size for high-speed, high-efficiency UHPLC separations.
