Zebra Analytix Revolutionary MEMS Cluster-Column™

Zebra Analytix MEMS Cluster-Columns can link an unlimited number of columns with multiple and various stationary phases in series. Cluster-Columns have a footprint significantly smaller than a traditional five-meter tubular capillary column.

Cluster-Columns enhance results by generating full baseline separation of compounds which has not previously been achievable without the use of a mass spectrometer. Industrialization of hand-held and portable chromatography systems is now possible due to the miniature footprint of MEMS Cluster-Columns.
