Phenomenex Inc., a global leader in the research and manufacture of advanced technologies for the separation sciences, and Shimadzu Scientific Instruments today announced a marketing collaboration for LC and GC systems.
Through this collaboration, Shimadzu systems and Phenomenex columns will be offered together in a complete solution in the United States.
As part of the 2011 Total Solutions Program, purchasers of Shimadzu analytical-scale HPLC, UHPLC, LC/MS or GC/GCMS systems will be given a Phenomenex welcome package that includes a technical consultation to evaluate the application and determine which complimentary column to select from among the company’s many brands including Kinetex®, Lux® and Luna® for LC and Zebron™ for GC. LC system users will also receive a Phenomenex SecurityGuard™ cartridge to protect and extend the life of the column, along with a column selection tool, technical notes and an application-specific trouble-shooting guide. GC system buyers will receive a column selection guide along with technical notes on GC method development and accessories.
“This total solutions program brings two leading companies together to serve the customer with top-of-the-line products that work together,” explained Doug McCrory, vice president of Phenomenex. “Shimadzu and Phenomenex offer a wide range of products that provide customers with a total solutions approach to meet most, if not all of their application needs.”
