Thermo Fisher Scientific Extends Range of HPLC Columns for Increased Productivity
and Faster Analyses

RUNCORN, UK (September 2, 2008) - Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in
serving science, announces the launch of two new additions to its flagship range of
Hypersil GOLD HPLC columns. Further extending its already extensive range, the
Thermo Scientific Hypersil GOLD columns, packed with 1.9um particles, are now
available in two new dimensions. Designed to increase productivity for users in HPLC
and Fast LC analyses, these new additions are ideal for rapid quantitative
separations.

The new Thermo Scientific Hypersil GOLD 1.9um Javelin HTS column takes fast
chromatography to the extreme. This shorter 10mm column enables analysis times as
rapid as eight seconds to be achieved and is ideal for fast, simple applications
such as dissolution tests, reaction monitoring and main band assays. The Javelin HTS
column format utilizes ultra-low dead volume and direct-connect hardware to minimize
dispersion.

Additionally, 1.9um Hypersil GOLD media is now also available packed into a high
pressure column 50mm long and 4.6mm internal diameter. Traditionally, a 1.9um column
is used on UHPLC instruments. However, by producing less backpressure, this new
wider column is attainable to users of conventional systems where pressure limits
are often in the 6000psi/400bar region, ensuring fast chromatography without the
need for extensive instrument optimization. Equally, this column can still be used
on ultra high pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) instruments, including the
Thermo Scientific Accela High Speed LC.
