Phenomenex Luna PFP(2) HPLC Columns

The Luna PFP(2) is a pentafluorophenyl phase with strongly electronegative fluorine groups to provide polar selectivity for cationic compounds, while the rigid bonded phase is a good steric selector.

• Extremely discerning for halogenated‚ aromatic and conjugated compounds
• Provides orthogonal selectivity even using traditional reversed phase mobile phase systems
• PFP Ultra pure, metal-free silica (99.99 % purity) (USP: L43)/li>

• Surface Area (m²/g): 400
• Particle Size: 3, 5
• Recommended Use: Separation of aromatic, halogenated, and closely related compounds

Long Column Lifetimes and Excellent Performance

Ultra-pure, metal-free silica (99.99 % purity) is the backbone of all Luna material. The resulting high quality particles have a surface smoothness, pore structure, and pore consistency to ensure a more uniform particle shape and greater reproducibility.

4 Mechanisms of Interaction

Luna® PFP(2) columns provide unique selectivity for highly polar compounds, complex natural products, isomers and other closely related compounds. This is achieved by using a propyl linked pentafluorophenyl, which provides multiple retention mechanisms unique to typical reversed phase medias.

• Hydrogen Bonding
• Dipole-Dipole Interactions
• Aromatic and π-π Interactions
• Hydrophobic
