Many analysts feel the Rtx®-1301 column has the best cyanosilicone 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 reproducibility, column-to-column consistency, and low bleed--even with sensitive detectors such as ECDs and MSDs.

The 5% diphenyl/95% dimethyl polysiloxane stationary phase is the most popular GC stationary phase and is used in a wide variety of applications. All residual catalysts and low molecular weight fragments are removed from the Rtx®-5 polymer, providing a tight mono-modal distribution and extremely low bleed.

The high thermal stability of Rtx®-50 columns makes possible dual-column analysis with common phases such as Rtx®-1ms or Rtx®-5ms. Between analyses, high temperatures can be used to drive less volatile contaminants off of the column.

The Rtx®-65 phase contains the highest phenyl content of any bonded stationary phase available, to improve separation of aromatic compounds through increased phase-analyte interaction. A unique polarity makes these columns ideal for a variety of analyses, from phenols to FAMEs. As a confirmation column for EPA Method 604 phenols, an Rtx®-65 column produces a different elution order, compared to the primary Rtx®-5 column. Rtx®-65 columns elute FAMEs according to equivalent chain length, similar to bonded Carbowax® columns, but the Rtx®-65 phase does not suffer the thermal stability limitations of other polar stationary phases.
