Forget liner activity: Topaz Liners are chromatographer's dream solution.
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Pesticide residue analysis

"When you do GC analysis, you are always surrounded by GC liner activity and matrix effect is a clear indication of the same. You'll find that lots of troubles analyzing food samples and the number of co-extractives are higher, even after proper cleanup regimes. To lower this liner activity and to get good reproducible results for long times batches; it's a must to have a liner which can remain inert for a long time. Topaz liners are very inert. You can make lots of reproducible injections with matrix load and still the results and peak shapes are really a chromatographer's delight."

Great results! Very pleased.
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Ethylene glycol and propylene glycol

"I was very pleased with this product. The packaging makes it easy to transfer the liner from the packaging to the GC without having to worry about contamination. Most runs are finished contaminant free and baselines are fairly flat. Only issues are when nasty samples are ran through the liner, but that is expected."

  • Application Area:Liquid Semivolatiles Analysis for Method 8270 and 625

"These inlet liners are extremely reliable. When using this product, we find them to be durable, and they do not break as easily as compared to other liners. The single taper gooseneck helps prevent too much sample from entering the column."

No active sites after long use, this liner is wonderful
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:EPA methods 524.2, 515.4, and 525.2

"These liners were a life saver for me. I don't run many injections and having to replace the liner every time, because they develop an active site, was costly and time consuming. Thanks to a very helpful rep. I was able to sample several different liner configurations and I chose the best one for each of my methods. Now I am able to run for six weeks without having to replace the liner and still have my breakdown check for 525.2 pass every time. I have recommended them to other people in my area and to those I meet when going to conferences out of state."

These are part of my routine and I know I can rely on the quality of the liners.
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Analyze food products for a variety of tests but primarily FAME analysis

"Excellent liner for variety of testing on GC and GC/MS applications - I have used Restek liners for many years and have always been pleased with how robust they are with repeatable results. I have used them for testing pesticides and very pleased with stability and lack of breakdown in compounds. Packaging is convenient (I buy 5 packs) and have never received late orders of broken liners."

Lowest breakdown I've seen. Somehow they've beaten the Skyliners' greatness.
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Chlorinated Pesticides via EPA 8081

"I replaced the old Skyliner PTV liner with the new Topaz PTV liner, and performed a quick "bake-out". Instantly the chromatograms looked clean and the breakdown was well below 5% for Endrin and DDT. When you only get up to 15%, any wiggle room will help. If a consumable can reduce reruns, we can maximize efficiency and turn-around-times. Thanks for your innovation. For a high-volume throughput lab it greatly eases my stress."
