A low- to midpolarity phase general-purpose columns for residual solvents, alcohols, oxygenates, and volatile organic compounds. Equivalent to USP G43 phase.   Many analysts feel the Rtx-1301 column has the best cyanosiloxane bonded stationary phase available, with no other column manufacturer providing lower bleed, longer lifetime, or better inertness. The polymer is fully characterized to ensure long-term reproducibili…

A highly polar phase; biscyanopropyl polysiloxane—not bonded Stationary phase selectivity optimized for isomer separation to ensure accurate quantification of critical cis/trans FAMEs. Application-specific QC test guarantees consistent, reliable performance for AOAC 996.06 and AOCS Ce 1j-07 methods. Excellent sample capacity; no peak distortion means easy, accurate peak integration. Temperature…

SilcoSmooth Stainless Steel Separate permanent gases, including carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, without cryogenic cooling. Rapid separations of permanent gas/light hydrocarbon mixtures. Excellent compatibility with most GC detectors—minimal bleed, minimal baseline rise. Preconditioned, less than 30 minutes to stabilize. Maximum temperature of 280 °C/300 °C.

By adding β or γ cyclodextrin to our bonded Rtx-1701 stationary phase, we greatly enhance overall utility and column lifetime for our chiral columns, compared to columns that have pure cyclodextrin stationary phases. Separations of more than one hundred chiral compounds have been achieved using our unique DEX columns, and our columns continue to demonstrate stability after hundreds of temperature program cycles. What are ch…

low-polarity proprietary phase

UHP stainless steel regulators are the standard for ultra-high-purity and corrosion-resistant pressure regulation. They are more easily purged of atmospheric components compared to brass gas regulators, making them ideal for the most demanding applications. Stainless steel is especially useful in atmospheres of dry corrosive gases such as hydrogen. All regulators are rated to 3,000 psig (20,684 kPa) maximum inlet pressure.…

Use 1/16-inch, two-hole ferrules with the 1/16-inch capillary inlet adaptor fitting kit (cat.# 27185). Use 1/8-inch, two-hole ferrules with the 1/8-inch capillary inlet adaptor fitting kit (cat.# 20645).

for Agilent GCs with 5971/5972, 5973, 5975, or 5977 GC-MS  

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 col…
