Phenomenex Inc. has introduced Guard Finder, an interactive online tool that helps users to quickly select column protection products for over 41,000 HPLC, UHPLC and preparative HPLC columns. The easy and flexible interface allows the customer to search by brand, part number, technique or column phase. In just seconds, the tool matches input with the recommended Phenomenex column protection.

The Guard Finder tool recommends column filters and SecurityGuard™ cartridges that protect against the damaging effects of chemical contaminants and microparticulates introduced by the sample, mobile phase or system, which can negatively impact column lifetime, method sensitivity, quantitation and peak identification. Column protection also reduces troubleshooting and downtime.

“Before we created this online tool, the process of choosing column filtration and protection systems was manual and laborious,” explains J.T. Presley, brand manager for Phenomenex. “Guard Finder was specifically designed to save customers time and ensure they get the most out of their columns.”

SecurityGuard™ Universal HPLC Guard Cartridge System

Phenomenex Inc

SecurityGuard offers a convenient and economical way to extend HPLC column lifetimes. Did you know a common cause of high backpressure, split peaks, broad peaks, baseline noise, baseline drift and loss of resolution is contaminants? The fact is all mobile phases contain some chemical contaminants or microparticulates, from the sample, solvent, or wear on the polymeric seals of the pump or injector. These contaminants can clog frits, irreversibly bind to an HPLC column, degrade performance, and even damage the flow cell. SecurityGuard™ is a universal HPLC guard cartridge system designed to effectively (and inexpensively), protect all your valuable analytical columns from the damaging effects of chemical contaminants, without altering your chromatographic results. SecurityGuard cartridge system provides the following advantages: Universal Phases, No Change in Chromatography Universal Fit Provides Universal Compatibility Direct-view Feature for Easy Changing Ease of Cartridge Selection Phenomenex also offers an interactive web application where users can enter their HPLC column information to find the most appropriate column protection system.
