Great tech for low level LC separations
Low level impurity analysis for small molecule drug products
The core-shell technology in general has really helped make my method development and validation projects easier. Using the UHPLC particle sizes, I've been able to reliably separate multiple impurities (9 impurities was my highest so far) in a robust assay and impurities method with less than 10 minutes run time. Very reliable product and Phenomenex is always great for customer service.

Food safety analysis: LC/MS/MS applications using new Kinetex® Core-Shell Technology HPLC Columns
This application note illustrates the screening of thirty compounds encompassing seven classes of antibiotics (betalactam, tetracycline, sulfonamide, macrolide, amphenicol, fluoroquinolone, and flunixin) by LC/MS/MS using Kinetex C18. The Kinetex column simplifies the simultaneous analysis of multiple analytes by providing increased chromatographic resolution and increased sensitivity.
A simple quantitative method for monoclonal antibody coformulations
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are well-established therapeutics for biopharmaceutical work. However, recent trends have investigated the administration of multiple mAbs for immunotherapy and passive immunization strategies. Although characterization may present unique challenges, quantitation of each individual mAb tend to rely on standard analytical workflows, but methods for drug substance of the mAb coformulation often consist of a more complex analysis. One such consideration is a simple quantitative method for the mAb coformulation.
