Fortis
Constant growth has seen the introduction
of new products on a regular basis.
Manufacture of silica is at the core of our business, producing the very latest surfaces to which we then add our innovative bonding chemistries. Full control of silica processes allows the ability to scale from UHPLC 1.7um particles upto 10um preparative scale particles.

Fortis PACE
Fortis PACE columns are an optimised design specifically for the needs of
High Throughput Screening (HTS).
Short columns lengths (20 or 30mm), high efficiency and resolution.
Fortis PACE columns contain any stationary phase from the Fortis range and
are specifically designed for HTS, whether isocratic or ballistic
gradients. Optimised packing density in the low volume hardware leads to
ultra sharp peak shapes combined with maximum efficiency. By combining
a low volume flow path with an optimised frit Fortis PACE columns provide
improved efficiency, asymmetry and pressure.
2022 summer - Fortis Technologies has launched a
brand new family of columns, unique on the market, and characterized by the
highest technology used in the design and production of HPLC phases:
EVOSPHERE
EVOSPHERE columns guarantee the best resolution of compounds and are available in a wide range of phases.

Evosphere Diphenyl | L11 | 1.7, 3, 5 | 100 | 15 | 2 - 9 |
Evosphere PFP | L43 | 1.7, 3, 5 | 100 | 13 | 2 - 9 |
Evosphere AQUA | L96 | 1.7, 3, 5 | 100 | 18 | 2 - 9 |
Based on completely porous monodisperse particles, they ensure a series
of advantages such as:
- high efficiency
- high load capacity
- scalable to the Prep version
- low back pressure
- surface area of 350 m2/g, guarantee of good retention
The low particle size dispersion leads to a better packing of the columns
and consequently to a very high efficiency for a completely porous silica
particle.
The C18-PFP and C18-AR phases fall into the L1 category of Pharmacopeia, and
can therefore be used to obtain unique selectivity.
The greater selectivity is also essential to obtain an optimal resolution of
the critical pairs of compounds.
All columns are individually tested to ensure best reproducibility and
robustness.
