Great separation on new column but diminishes greatly over time.

 

Average Rating 3.7

Application Area:

Environmental analysis

Great column for direct aqueous injection, fairly robust but does not hold up well when acidic or reactive samples are injected.

Stabilwax: A solution for all your polar analysis needs.

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Food analysis and residual solvent analysis

When it comes to polar compound analysis on GC, as we all know there are a lot of troubles we face with the chemistry aspect. When you have Stabilwax inside your GC at least you are sure that there is no problem with the stationary phase and you are getting more than the required inert environment. It really lowers the burden of analysis. The phase is really robust and bonded in such a way that inertness remains even after a long time and after many injections. I have been using it for food sample analyses like inorganic bromide, inorganic iodide, safrole and residual solvent analysis. Also a great thing is that it is compatible with rapid changes in temperature and also can be utilised in high efficiency cooling GC Ovens. Other vendors' columns are not so robust in handling such rapid changes in temperatures. This clearly saves your time when you are running samples in overnight batches.

Good results, need this for routine analysis.

 

Average Rating 4.3

Application Area:

GC pharmacetical product analysis (raw materials and finished product)

The product is good and very effective. Gives good results.

Review Date: 16 Jul 2020 | Restek Corp.

Resolution between solvent is improved.

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Solvent analysis

Stabilwax Cap. Column is a very stable column. Lower temperature solvent separates very well compared to 624 phase.

Review Date: 15 Jul 2020 | Restek Corp.

Great results.

 

Average Rating 3.3

Application Area:

For fusion

It's easy to use, cheap, and reliable. It can last for a long time and cheap service.

Review Date: 10 Jun 2020 | Restek Corp.

Robustness and quality of results for a competitive price.

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Composition of fatty acids in pharmaceutical oily excipients

Galephar QC laboratory uses the Stabilwax column for the GC determination of fatty acids in pharmaceucal oils (olive refined oil, peanut oil...) according to the European Pharmacopeia general chapter. This GC column offers excellent results in terms of selectivity and peak shape comparative to any other column of same type. Its excellent robustness is suitable for the challenging analysis of fatty acids.

Review Date: 10 Dec 2019 | Restek Corp.

Gave excellent results quantitatively and qualitatively.

 

Average Rating 4.3

Application Area:

Food analysis for inorganic bromide

It gave woderful accurate results for inorganic bromide.

Review Date: 10 Dec 2019 | Restek Corp.

Great results

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Gas chromatography

Very easy to use for simultaneous detection of syngas, light hydrocarbons and CO2. Sometimes the nitrogen and oxygen peaks are merged. It is better to use oxygen free flue gases.

Review Date: 12 Apr 2019 | Restek Corp.

Excellent column performance after years of usage

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Residual solvent determination

Column demonstrated satisfactory separation power, reproducibility and reliability

Review Date: 12 Apr 2019 | Restek Corp.

Great product!

 

Average Rating 3.7

Application Area:

GC Columns

Machine works well with these columns, they are reliable and easy to install and use. Also a great buy for the money.

General purpose columns for FAMEs, flavor compounds, essential oils, solvents, xylene isomers, and US EPA Method 603 (acrolein/acrylonitrile).

Resistant to oxidative damage.

Temperature range: 40°C to 260°C.

Equivalent to USP G14, G15, G16, G20, and G39 phases.


The polar-deactivated surface tightly binds the Carbowax® polymer and increases thermal stability, relative to competitive columns. The bonding mechanisms produce a column that can be rejuvenated by solvent washing. Compared to silicone stationary phases, PEG phases are more resistant to damage from strongly acidic or basic volatile compounds.
