VDSpher CSM Series (Core Shell Mode)

VDSpher Core Shell Mode phases are a further development of the existing VDSpher product portfolio for the field of analytical chromatography. VDSpher Core Shell Mode columns represent a versatile alternative to columns packed with superficially porous particles.

Superficially porous particles (SPPs) – often also called Fused-Core®, core shell or porous shell – are characterized by a solid core and a porous outer layer (shell). SPPs columns enable very high efficiency while ensuring modest operating pressures simultaneously compared to fully porous sub-2μm particles. Despite these advantages, users repeatedly report difficulties regarding reproducibility of chromatographic analyses and critise the high costs of analytical SSPs columns. In order to offer customers a cost-effective alternative to SPPs columns, VDS optilab extends its existing product portfolio and launches the so-called VDSpher Core Shell Mode (CSM) phases. 3 different VDSpher CSM modifications and 2.5μm in particle size are currently available.
