The Luna PFP(2) is a pentafluorophenyl phase with strongly electronegative fluorine groups to provide polar selectivity for cationic compounds, while the rigid bonded phase is a good steric selector.
- Extremely discerning for halogenated‚ aromatic and conjugated compounds
- Provides orthogonal selectivity even using traditional reversed phase mobile phase systems
- PFP Ultra pure, metal-free silica (99.99 % purity) (USP: L43)/li>
Phenomenex: Luna PFP(2) HPLC Column
- Surface Area (m²/g): 400
- Particle Size: 3, 5
- Recommended Use: Separation of aromatic, halogenated, and closely related compounds
Long Column Lifetimes and Excellent Performance
Ultra-pure, metal-free silica (99.99 % purity) is the backbone of all Luna material. The resulting high quality particles have a surface smoothness, pore structure, and pore consistency to ensure a more uniform particle shape and greater reproducibility.

4 Mechanisms of Interaction
Luna® PFP(2) columns provide unique selectivity for highly polar compounds, complex natural products, isomers and other closely related compounds. This is achieved by using a propyl linked pentafluorophenyl, which provides multiple retention mechanisms unique to typical reversed phase medias.
- Hydrogen Bonding
- Dipole-Dipole Interactions
- Aromatic and π-π Interactions
- Hydrophobic
