Rtx®-1 Columns by Restek Corp.

"I am using a raptor column for mycotoxin analysis in LCMS and it gives nice separation - a very robust column for mycotoxin analysis."

"Easy to install, however retentions times of new column were not the same as the original. Customer service or tech support could not answer why."

"Good column reproducibility and prolonged life time."

"Rtx®/MXT®-1 columns are ideal for the analysis of nonpolar petrochemical samples, such as detailed hydrocarbon analysis, hydrocarbon gases, petroleum oxygenates, petroleum aromatics, fuels, waxes, oils, sulfur compounds, mercaptans, and carbon disulfide. It also is an excellent phase for solvents, chemicals, flavors, fragrances, essential oils, air toxins, chlorofluorocarbons, arson analysis, and high-temperature applications."

"The Rtx-1 column is the standard column in our lab, meaning it has the most applicable coating for the purposes of our research. It would not be the standard unless it was easy to use, reliable, and consistent between columns. Service of the column is relatively easy, but I wish it was easier to come across column cutters (it is always hard to find the one or two in the lab). Our lab also has applications where we need to remove the column from its rack. It is quite a process at times. I would like to be able to more easily remove/unwind the column from the rack, and even get some feedback on how to properly wind it back up if needed. I am not sure if those kind of tutorials exist."

"Results are easily reproducible and reliable with Restek. Products seem to be very robust."

"Perfect seperation over and over, which is why I alreay trust Restek columns"

"These are great columns in our lab. Very dependable, and good support from Restek when we have questions. I would recommend them to any lab for routine GC applications."

"this gc column is the workhorse of the lab, it is very dependable and has a long life."
