(Crossbond® 65% diphenyl/35% dimethyl polysiloxane)
The Rtx®-65TG phase resolves triglycerides by degree of unsaturation as well as by carbon number. Because of the chemistry required to achieve 370°C thermal stability, an Rtx®-65TG column should not be used for analyses of polar compounds.

Rtx®-VMS columns offer lower bleed, better selectivity, and overall faster analysis for separating volatile organic compounds, such as those listed in US EPA Method 8260. The Rtx®-VMS stationary phase is a highly stable polymer that provides outstanding analysis of volatile compounds, in combination with sensitive ion traps and mass spectrometers. 0.18 and 0.25 mm ID columns allow sample splitting at the injection port, eliminating the added expense and maintenance of a jet separator. A 0.45 mm or 0.53 mm ID column can be directly connected to the purge & trap transfer line in a system equipped with a jet separator.

(90% biscyanopropyl/10% phenylcyanopropyl polysiloxane - not bonded)
Rt™-2330 is one of the most polar capillary column stationary phases. Cyano groups on both sides of the polymer backbone give the phase a strong dipole moment and high selectivity for cis/trans compounds or compounds with conjugated double bonds. Highly polar columns typically exhibit poor column efficiencies, high bleed, and short column lifetimes when thermally cycled. To overcome some of these problems, Restek developed a surface treatment that is more compatible with the Rt™-2330 phase. In addition, improved polymer produces columns with improved column efficiency and lower bleed. Because the Rt™-2330 stationary phase is not bonded, it should not be solvent rinsed.

Stabilwax®-DB columns reduce adsorption and improve responses for many basic compounds, without analyte derivatization or column priming. For different selectivity of basic compounds, or higher oven temperatures, use an Rtx®-5 Amine or Rtx®-35 Amine column.Stabilwax®-DB is a bonded stationary phase, but avoid rinsing these columns with water or alcohols.

Our 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.

(Crossbond® Carbowax® polyethylene glycol)
Rtx®-Wax columns are the most inert and efficient PEG columns currently available. The extended operating temperature range allows analysis of compounds having a wide volatility range, and ensures low bleed at temperatures as high as 250°C. Selectivity is comparable to other Carbowax® columns, for compounds of intermediate to high polarity. Selectivity data available on request.

(Crossbond® trifluoropropylmethyl polysiloxane)
Rtx®-200 columns have accomplished many difficult separations not possible on any other bonded stationary phase. Many analysts consider these the best, most inert midpolarity columns available. The trifluoropropyl stationary phase has a unique selectivity that changes elution orders and resolves compounds that phenyl, cyano, or Carbowax® phases can not. The Rtx®-200 column offers exceptional thermal stability, low bleed, and superior inertness--even for active compounds such as phenols, and with sensitive detectors such as ECDs, NPDs, and MSDs.

(Crossbond® 14%cyanopropylphenyl/86%dimethyl polysiloxane)
Rtx®-1701 is one of the most popular stationary phases used in capillary GC. The mix of cyano and phenyl functional groups increases the polarity and offers a different elution order relative to less polar Rtx®-1 or Rtx®-5 columns. An Rtx®-1701 column is ideal for confirmation analysis, in combination with an Rtx®-35 or Rtx®-5 column. The polymer is fully characterized to ensure long-term reproducibility, column-to-column consistency, and low bleed, even with sensitive detectors such as ECDs and MSDs.
