Kinesis

Established in the United Kingdom and now a key part of the Cole-Parmer (Antylia Scientific) family, Kinesis® has become a globally trusted name in the manufacture of high-performance chromatography consumables. By focusing on the essential components of the analytical workflow, they have helped laboratories improve the precision and longevity of their separation systems. As the authorised New Zealand partner, we provide local scientists with direct access to these critical supplies, which are foundational to the Laboratory, Environmental, and Life Science and Diagnostics sectors across New Zealand.

The Kinesis engineering philosophy is built on the principle of "Total Chromatography Support," ensuring that every consumable—from the smallest vial to the most complex column—meets rigorous quality standards. Their products are designed for seamless integration with all major HPLC and UHPLC brands, helping to protect expensive instrumentation from contamination. We back these essential supplies with our 70 years of local expertise, providing the technical guidance and efficient delivery required to keep your high-throughput analytical workflows running smoothly.

Technical Applications for Kinesis in New Zealand

In New Zealand analytical and pharmaceutical laboratories, the integrity of the sample preparation step is a primary technical driver for data accuracy. The extensive range of Syringe filters and Laboratory membrane filters available through our partnership ensures that particulates are effectively removed before they can damage sensitive pump seals or plug narrow-bore Liquid chromatography LC columns. This protection is essential for maintaining peak resolution and extending the operational life of your chromatography hardware in Industrial and research applications.

For high-throughput screening and automated liquid handling, we provide a comprehensive selection of Microplates and certified Laboratory vials that are compatible with all major autosamplers. To ensure consistent detector performance, we also supply specialised Ultraviolet UV lamps, including high-stability deuterium and tungsten options for HPLC detectors. By combining these precision consumables with robust Laboratory filtration hardware or accessories, we help New Zealand chemists achieve the highest levels of reproducibility in their Food and Feed safety and clinical research protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I select the right syringe filter for my sample?
Selection depends on the chemical compatibility of the membrane (e.g., PTFE, Nylon, PES) and the pore size (typically 0.22 µm or 0.45 µm). Using the correct filter protects your column from blockages and ensures your data is free from particulate-induced baseline noise.

Are Kinesis vials compatible with my existing autosampler?
Yes, the vials are manufactured to standard dimensions (such as 9mm screw thread or 11mm crimp) and are tested for compatibility with all major chromatography autosamplers, including Agilent, Waters, and Shimadzu.

When should I replace the deuterium lamp in my HPLC detector?
You should monitor the lamp's ignition count and the noise level of your baseline. If you notice increased noise, decreased sensitivity, or if the lamp fails to ignite, it is time for a replacement to maintain the technical accuracy of your analysis.

Do you offer certified columns for specific USP or EPA methods?
We provide a wide range of HPLC and GC columns with diverse stationary phases designed to meet the specific resolution requirements of various international regulatory methods in environmental and pharmaceutical testing.

Can I use these microplates for sensitive biological assays?
Yes, we offer microplates in various materials and surface treatments, including those suitable for PCR, ELISA, and cell culture, ensuring low protein binding and minimal sample interference.

What local support is available for chromatography in New Zealand?
Our Auckland-based technical team provides comprehensive support across New Zealand, including help with consumable selection and system troubleshooting. We ensure rapid delivery of essential chromatography supplies to keep your laboratory operational.
