Rtx-50

(Crossbond® 100%methylphenyl polysiloxane)GC column

  • Midpolarity phase.
  • Equivalent to USP G3 phase.

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.

Applications
  • Organochlorine pesticides
  • Herbicides
  • Rosin acids
  • Sterols
  • Triglycerides
  • Phtalate esters

Rtx-65

(Crossbond® 65% diphenyl/35%dimethyl polysiloxane)GC column

  • Mid to high polarity phase.
  • Equivalent to USP G17 phase.

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.

Applications
  • Phenols
  • Fatty acids
