MXT®-1HT SimDist Column
Accurate boiling point determination for medium and heavy fractions using GC simulated distillation requires columns and phase polymers that are robust enough to withstand high temperatures without significant degradation.
It's a good column.

The column is easy to use and i like how robust it feels when i install it. i don't like that is says it is pre conditioned, but not really. i always have to condition the column before i use it.

Metal columns are a better alternative than fused silica, and the MXT®-1HT SimDist columns are the lowest bleed, highest efficiency columns available, outperforming other metal columns for critical method parameters.
MXT®-1HT SimDist Column Features:
- Stable up to 450 °C—lowest bleed for longest column lifetime.
- Reliably meet all ASTM D6352, D7169, and D7500 specifications.
- 100% dimethyl polysiloxane phase allows easy comparisons to historical data.
Column Details:
- Siltek®-treated stainless steel
- Length: 5, 10 m
- ID: 0.53 mm
- df: 0.20 μm
Using Alternative Carrier Gases with Accelerated ASTM D2887 Simulated Distillation Analysis
This application note shows that with an MXT®-1HT SimDist column and Restek’s EZGC® online method translator, existing methods using helium can be easily converted to either hydrogen or nitrogen carrier gas. Because retention times are preserved with proper method translation, there are minimal changes to peak identification tables, which significantly simplifies method validation.
