(proprietary Crossbond® diphenyl/dimethyl polysiloxane phase)
An Rtx®-502.2 column will enable you to quantify all compounds listed in US EPA methods 502.2 or 524.2, whether you use a mass spectrometer or a PID in tandem with an ELCD. The diphenyl/dimethyl polysiloxane based Rtx®-502.2 stationary phase provides low bleed and thermal stability to 270°C. A 105-meter column can separate the light gases specified in EPA methods without subambient cooling. Narrow bore columns can interface directly in GC/MS systems.

Active basic compounds that otherwise require derivatization, or an alternative analytical technique, can be analyzed on an Rtx®-5 Amine column. The tubing surface is chemically altered to reduce tailing of basic compounds, eliminating the need for column priming. An Rtx®-5 Amine column is ideal for analyzing a wide variety of basic compounds, but breakthrough technology also allows the analysis of neutral compounds, adsorptive compounds with oxygen groups susceptible to hydrogen bonding, or even weakly acidic compounds such as phenols. Every Rtx®-5 Amine column is tested to ensure that it exceeds the requirements for analyzing ppm levels of amines, without priming, and to ensure low bleed at maximum operating temperature.

Using computer modeling techniques, we optimized the Rtx®-VGC column for analysis of volatile organic compounds on GC systems equipped with photoionization (PID) and electrolytic conductivity detectors (ELCD). It performs the most difficult separations of volatile organic compounds, such as those listed in US EPA Methods 502.2 and 8021, providing unsurpassed separation in the fastest analysis time, thereby increasing sample throughput. The Rtx®-VGC column provides >=85% resolution of trihalomethanes (THMs) from other volatile compounds. This unique column also achieves excellent separation of gases and early eluting compounds.

(Crossbond® 100% dimethyl polysiloxane - optimized for simulated distillation)
Rtx®-2887 columns' stationary phase, column dimensions, and film thickness have been optimized to exceed the resolution and skewing factor requirements currently specified in ASTM method D2887. Each column is individually tested to guarantee a stable baseline with low bleed and reproducible retention times. The Crossbond® methyl silicone stationary phase has increased stability compared to packed columns, ensuring stable baselines and shorter conditioning times.

(Crossbond® 100% dimethyl polysiloxane - optimized for hydrocarbon analysis)
The Rtx®-1PONA polymer was designed to offer the exact polarity necessary to resolve hydrocarbons in the specific order requested by petrochemical companies. In order to meet the demanding resolution and retention criteria of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and the Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB), Restek has developed unique quality control tests and specifications for the Rtx®-1PONA column. The measured values for retention (k), efficiency (n), and stationary phase selectivity (RI) are controlled so that each column exceeds the requirements of the ASTM and CGSB methods.
