What are NicoShell Columns?

NicoShell Columns are AZYP core-shell chiral columns using superficially porous particle technology for high-efficiency, fast chiral separations with controlled backpressure.

Core-shell particles reduce diffusion path length, improving efficiency and peak shape. NicoShell is useful for UHPLC-compatible screening, pharmaceutical QC, bioanalysis, fast impurity methods and method transfer from longer fully porous methods.

Technology, mechanism and applications

Core-shell particles reduce diffusion path length, improving efficiency and peak shape. NicoShell is useful for UHPLC-compatible screening, pharmaceutical QC, bioanalysis, fast impurity methods and method transfer from longer fully porous methods.

  • Method development and replacement screening support
  • Pharmaceutical QC, impurity profiling and research laboratories
  • Typical analytes include APIs, intermediates, ionic compounds, racemates and polar analytes depending on family
  • Storage and care: use compatible solvents, filter mobile phases and follow validated laboratory procedures.

Frequently asked questions

What is the advantage of NicoShell core-shell particles?

They provide high efficiency and fast analysis with lower backpressure than many fully porous alternatives.

Is NicoShell useful for UHPLC?

Yes, the 2.7 µm core-shell format is suitable for fast UHPLC-style method development where system pressure allows.

Can NicoShell improve peak capacity?

Short diffusion paths and narrow peaks can improve peak capacity in screening and QC workflows.

Where is NicoShell commonly applied?

Pharmaceutical QC, bioanalysis, research screening and chiral method transfer.
