CellufinecTM MAX Butyl
CellufineTM MAX Phenyl
CellufineTM MAX Phenyl LS

CellufineTM MAX is a 2nd generation Cellufine™ media with high flow characteristics. JNC developed a new, highly cross-linked base resin for Cellufine™ MAX series. Cellufine™ MAX hydrophobic interaction chromatography is now available with MAX Phenyl and Butyl chemistries.

Cellulose, a natural polysaccharide, possesses unique crystalline molecular structure differing from non-crystalline polysaccharides such as agarose. Thus Cellufine™ has distinctive pore structure as shown in the pictograph (Fig. 1). The new Cellufine™ MAX series offers the largest pore size of all Cellufine™ chromatography media. The benefit of such pore size in Cellufine™ MAX HIC media provides superior strength and excellent mass transfer.
