The Rtx®-Volatile Amine column was designed specifically for analyzing volatile amines in difficult matrices, such as water. The unique base deactivation creates an exceptionally inert surface for these sensitive compounds, resulting in highly symmetrical peaks which allow low detection limits. The stable bonded phase yields a column that is not only retentive and highly selective for these compounds, but is also very robust…

With Raptor™ LC columns, Restek chemists became the first to combine the speed of superficially porous particles (also known as SPP or “core-shell” particles) with the resolution of highly selective USLC® technology. This new breed of chromatographic column allows you to more easily achieve peak separation and faster analysis times without expensive UHPLC instrumentation. SPP core-shell columns commonly employ traditional phe…

A Restek® LC guard cartridge in an EXP® direct connect holder is the ultimate in column protection. To help protect your investment and further extend the life of our already-rugged LC columns, Restek offers the patent-pending guard column hardware developed by Optimize Technologies.Raptor™ EXP® Guard Column Cartridges Features: Free-Turn® architecture lets you change cartridges by hand without breaking inlet/outlet fluid…

Restek has raised the bar with a new high-temperature MXT®-Biodiesel TG column line to complement their fused silica column line for biodiesel analysis. These new MXT® -Biodiesel TG columns are stable to 430°C and offer unique retention gap options that minimize dead volume and leaks. Choose either a 0.32mm column factory-coupled to a 0.53mm retention gap, or select a single unit 0.53mm column featuring Integra-Gap™, a built-…

The Raptor™ ARC-18 column is made specifically for high-throughput, low–sample prep LC-MS/MS applications. A well-balanced retention profile offers better detection and integration of large, multiclass analyte lists, and steric protection helps this SPP column endure the harsh, low-pH mobile phases needed for mass spec without sacrificing retention or peak quality. Restek chemists became the first to combine the speed of supe…

Diluted and DEA-exempt—no need to purchase costly neat materials or make your own standards. Pair with Restek's THC standards to analyze both neutrals and acids in cannabis products by LC. A must for accurate quantification in medical cannabis potency testing and strain ID. Acetonitrile solvent helps maintain stability by preventing methylation of the carboxylic acid group on the molecule. Certified reference materia…

The Rxi®-PAH GC columns were designed by Restek with a higher phenyl-content stationary phase that provides unique selectivity to separate important polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) for food safety that cannot be distinguished by mass spectrometry. Even difficult priority compounds, such as the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) PAH4, are easily separated and accurately quantified, results that cannot be achieved on…

Improved resolution and faster analyses, compared to 1701 or phenyl phases, make these the pesticide columns of choice. Rtx®-CLPesticides columns are specially designed to overcome the coelutions and analyte breakdown typically encountered in chlorinated pesticide analyses for EPA Methods 8081, 608, and CLP. By achieving baseline resolution of the 20 target analytes, more accurate qualitative data can be obtained, providing r…

Restek chemists became the first to combine the speed of superficially porous particles (also known as SPP or “core-shell” particles) with the resolution of highly selective USLC® technology. This new breed of chromatographic column allows you to more easily achieve peak separation and faster analysis times without expensive UHPLC instrumentation. Every LC lab has a cache of C18s, but every C18 is not created equal. Because t…
