Allure AK Columns
This highly retentive, highly selective phase—unique to Restek—was developed specifically for the analysis of aldehydes and ketones as DNPH derivatives. Allure AK is a reversed-phase HPLC material that has the unique ability to separate all 13 carbonyl compounds specified in California Air Resources Board (CARB) Method #1004 using a simple acetonitrile/water gradient. Other columns require long analysis times or the use of tet…
Seperation of Aldehydes and Carbonyls in Air samples
Achieve's very good separation of the compounds of interest, fairly durable given the nature of some of the samples analysed, though has had the tendency to suddenly get irreversiblly high back pressures
