Rtx®-VMS Columns (fused silica) (proprietary Crossbond® phase) • Application-specific columns for volatile organic pollutants by GC-MS • Complete separation of U.S. EPA Method 8260B compounds in less than 10 minutes • Stable to 260 °C • No known equivalent phases

Developed specifically for using LC coupled with GC-FID to accurately determine hydrocarbons found in mineral oils, which can migrate from packaging into food. • 9-component mix contains non-interfering internal standards as well as both mineral oil saturated hydrocarbon (MOSH) and mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbon (MOAH) markers to correctly cut fractions. • Certified reference material (CRM) manufactured and QC-tested in Re…

Stop spending your time and money developing LC-MS/MS multi-residue pesticide methods and mixing reference standards when you could be running samples. Restek’s trusted food safety experts have already done the work for you—with guaranteed accuracy and at a lower cost. Restek’s new certified reference materials (CRMs) for LC-MS/MS multi-residue pesticide analysis eliminate the need to source, purchase, and store individual ma…

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…

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 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…
