(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.

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.
