Partisphere® HPLC Columns, formerly manufactured by Whatman™, a division of GE Healthcare™, are part of Hichrom™ Limited since 2012. Hichrom™ continues to manufacture the full range of genuine columns and media to the same exacting manufacturing protocols and specifications. Partisphere® was one of the first commercially available spherical silicas and continues to provide reproducible, high efficiency separations. Partisphere® columns are available in a wide range of surface chemistries, including two application specific phases: (1.) TAC-1 for Taxane Analysis, such as paclitaxel and (2.) WAX (MAX-1) for corn and soy protein.
