Capillary / Micro Scale Columns
Columns for Microflow Analysis
Miniaturisation of liquid chromatography in combination with mass spectrometry has several advantages including improvements in sensitivity, especially at low concentration levels and dramatically reduced solvent consumption and time, compared to conventional HPLC or UHPLC.
To meet the requirements of SHIMADZU´s Nexera Mikros, we offer a selection of capillary columns specifically designed to be used with our chromatography systems.
Shim-pack MC Plonas capillary columns for Micro-Flow LC/MS system
The Shim-pack MC Plonas series uses superficially porous particles or SPP (“CoreShell” technology). They enable compatibility with a wide range of analysis conditions and applications.
The Shim-pack MC Plonas are 40 MPa columns packed with 2.7 μm superficially porous particles (SPP) with a thin outer porous shell to provide superior performance compared to totally porous particles. With a particle size of 2.7 µm Shim-pack MC Plonas columns can also be used for high speed or high-resolution analyses on both UHPLC and HPLC instrumentation.
These columns provide excellent peak shape and separation and have lower column load pressure compared to fully-porous particle columns.

YMC-Triart Columns for Micro / Nano LC
YMC-Triart is a hybrid silica column prepared from well-controlled particle formation technology which is adapted from micro-reactor technology. The recently developed production step results in truly narrow particle and pore size distributions! With YMC-Triart micro/nano UHPLC/HPLC columns, wide pH ranges, high temperatures and even 100% H2O eluents are no longer a limitation to the day-to-day work in laboratories. Most importantly, due to its unique particle composition, a balanced hydrophobicity and silanol activity are achieved.

Installation Guide
◆ UF-Link Column-MS Interface Connection Mechanism
With UF-Link, a column-MS interface connection mechanism for Shimadzu micro LCMS systems, simply place the column in the column oven and swing over the lever to provide improved sensitivity, without the risk of sample diffusion outside the column.
Attach the adapter to the column.
The unified threads on the adapter
make it compatible with a
wide variety of columns.
Place the column in the UF-Link
mechanism inside the oven.
Complete the connection by
swinging over the lever.
