First choice in SFC separations

For reliable and reproducible results

AkzoNobel, has been delivering Kromasil materials and columns for SFC for over 25 years. The new Kromasil SFC columns are based on the trusted, high performance, state-of-the-art spherical Kromasil silica particles, giving peace of mind to those working in the laboratory.

Kromasil SFC column choices

Designed for fast separations and based on 2.5 µm particle size technology, the new Kromasil SFC columns are tailor-made for research, discovery and for routine analysis. The new columns are delivered in cyano , diol, silica, and 2‑ethylpyridine chemistries for the laboratory scientist to separate and analyze a wide range of substances, from non-polar to strongly polar compounds.
