Launch of SunShell Peptide C9 and SunShell Protein C8
ChromaNik Technologies has launched SunShell Peptide C9 and SunShell Protein C8, new bio-molecule-oriented columns designed to improve separation performance and reproducibility of peptides and proteins in LC-MS analysis.
The specifications are as follows.
SunShell Peptide C9
Particle size: 2.6 μm (core diameter: 1.6 μm)
Pore size: 16 nm
Carbon load: 2.5%
Bonded phase: Hexafunctional C18
Inertization:
Sunniest end-capping + proprietary advanced inert treatment to suppress non-specific adsorption
Feature:
- By reducing the carbon load to half while maintaining the same base material and bonding density as SunShell Peptide C18, this column provides distinct selectivity and alternative separation behavior.
- The introduction of a multifunctional bonding chemistry significantly enhances acid stability.
SunShell Protein C8
Particle size: 3.4 μm (core diameter: 3.0 μm)
Pore size: 16 nm
Carbon load: 0.5%
Bonded phase: C8
Inertization:
Sunniest end-capping + proprietary advanced inert treatment to suppress non-specific adsorption
Feature:
- This column employs a balanced design combining thin porous-shell core-shell particles and a wide-pore substrate, enabling both effective separation and smooth elution of proteins.
- Advanced end-capping ensures compatibility with high-temperature operating conditions.
These columns are derivative products of the SunShell Peptide C18, launched in 2024, and are manufactured using the same advanced inertization technology.
By effectively minimizing adsorption, they support LC-MS analysis across a broad range of targets, from moderately to highly hydrophobic peptides and proteins.

Thank you for your continued interest.
SunBridge C18(sub-2µm) and PFP-R Launch
In addition to the launch of the SunBridge platform, ChromaNik Technologies is pleased to announce the release of two new product lines: SunBridge C18 (1.8 µm, 3 µm) and SunBridge PFP-R (3 µm).
The SunBridge series, developed based on unique Ultra-Hybrid Technology, is an organosilica column first introduced to the market in February 2025.
The SunBridge C18 columns, available in both sub-2 µm and 3 µm particle sizes, deliver outstanding efficiency and reproducibility for high-resolution separations, making them ideally suited for both UHPLC and conventional HPLC systems.
For more details and specifications, refer to the brochure[PDF] and the poster[PDF] provided.
The SunBridge PFP-R (3 µm) column introduces enhanced selectivity for fluorinated compounds (including both short- and long-chain PFAS), aromatic isomers, and polar analytes, offering unique retention characteristics that complement traditional C18 phases.
For more details and specifications, refer to the brochure[PDF] and the PFAS poster[PDF] provided.
With these new additions, the SunBridge series further extends its versatility, enabling researchers and analysts to address a wider range of separation challenges with confidence.
SunBridge C18 3µm Now Launched
SunBridge C18 5 µm, featuring exceptional alkaline durability enabled by Ultra Hybrid Technology, was launched in February 2025.
Subsequently, SunBridge C18 3 µm was launched in April 2025.
SunBridge C18 3 µm is effective for improving separation performance and ensuring stable operation in oligonucleotide analysis under high-temperature and high-pH conditions.

New SunBridge HPLC Column Launches
ChromaNik Technologies has officially introduced its latest innovation in chromatography: the SunBridge HPLC column. Designed with cutting-edge technology, SunBridge aims to provide superior performance, improved separation efficiency, and enhanced durability under a wide range of analytical conditions.
The new column is tailored to meet the demands of modern chromatography applications, offering robust performance for challenging compounds and complex mixtures. With its advanced design, SunBridge is expected to set a new standard for HPLC.
For more details and specifications, refer to the PDF file provided.
Inert column hardware option, “PS inert,” launch
We introduced the inert column hardware “PS inert,” featuring a multilayer organic inert surface treatment applied to metal surfaces, at JASIS 2023. Order acceptance has now begun.
Unlike so-called metal-free (PEEK) columns, PS inert is compatible with connections to virtually all HPLC systems. It effectively suppresses non-specific adsorption of analytes and contributes to improved detectability.
PS inert can be manufactured at an additional cost of JPY 25,000 (excluding tax) on top of the standard column price.
Available Column Dimensions:
2.1 × 50 mm, 2.1 × 100 mm, 2.1 × 150 mm,3.0 × 50 mm, 3.0 × 100 mm,
4.6 × 50 mm, 4.6 × 100 mm, 4.6 × 150 mm, and others
Compatible Packing Materials:
Our in-house manufactured HPLC packing materials, including the following stationary phases:
SunShell, Sunniest, SunArmor, and Sunrise

Prominert C18 and Biphenyl Launch
We have developed new products incorporating a novel endcapping technology (Tandem TMS treatment).

Key Features:
- High durability (C18: pH 1–12, Biphenyl: pH 1-10)
- High theoretical plate number (approximately 30,000 plates for a 15 cm column)
- Low back pressure (approximately 70% of that of competitor columns with the same particle size)
