Overview

The Kinetex PS C18 is a USP classified L1 column, that provides Molecular Formula: C17H19FN3O3 both a unique polar/hydrophobic selectivity, and is 100 % aqueous Basic pKa: 8.77 stable. The column demonstrates enhanced selectivity and peak Acidic pKa: 5.56 shape for basic compounds under typical reversed phase condi- LogP: -0.86 tions.
