Read MoreHALO-5 5Oct 23, 2012
HALO-5 5µm HPLC columns are based on the same proven Fused-Core particle technology as original HALO 2.7µm columns but have been developed by fusing a 0.6µm porous silica layer on to the surface of a 3.8µm solid core particle
HALO-5 columns are initially available in C18 and PFP phases and have been specifically developed in order to provide improved HPLC performance when used with traditional HPLC equipment, as the lower back pressure of these columns is ideally suited to these instruments. It has been demonstrated that for a given operating pressure, HALO-5 columns deliver significantly higher efficiency than a column packed with 5µm totally porous particles...
