Zebron™ ZB-SemiVolatiles GC columns

The world is changing and we need to widen our Environmental Scope. Although analytical techniques and established regulated methods are not easily changed; more complex targets, larger lists, and a variety of sample matrices create a daily challenge for environmental chemists. By using the latest technologies and techniques in HPLC/ UHPLC and Sample Preparation, laboratories and chemists are able to develop better approaches to make their work Faster, Cheaper and Easier. Phenomenex is committed to supporting the industry through a comprehensive product portfolio of Sample Preparation, HPLC/UHPLC, and LC-MS, columns and accessories, along with application and method development services to meet industry needs.

This guide provides an overview of the three ways to choose your 5 phase column: by reviewing the column characteristics, choosing by applications & utilizing Phenomenex's online GC column finder. Find out more in this free download.

This helpful GC Selection Guide, from Phenomenex, provides a step-by-step process or choosing the best column to suit your needs. Including background on the master resolution equation, and choosing the best selectivity and dimensions for your experiment.

This white paper provides troubleshooting support for gas chromatography (GC). GC is a common technique used in analytical chemistry, which is used for separating and analyzing compounds that can be vaporized without decomposition. This guide will explain how to deal with common issues such as bleed, drift, and noise through a series of systematic steps, which will lead to improved results and prevention of re-occurrence.

The study described in this application note demonstrates a new method of high resolution gas chromatography with high resolution mass spectrometry for quantitation of toxic PBDE congeners, using a Phenomenex Zebron ZB-SemiVolatiles column. PBDEs were formerly used as flame retardants and now known to be toxic, however levels of PBDE remain in the environment and are subject to bioaccumulation. Therefore, knowing the levels of PBDE in an area is important to reduce the impact on the environment, local species and our food sources.

This white paper provides a comprehensive guide to selecting the most appropriate GC column for your pharmaceutical methods. Careful selection is important to ensure that you produce the most accurate results and Phenomenex Zebron GC columns come in a variety of phase types to suit whatever pharmaceutical application that you are testing.

EPA method 8270D is a complicated method with one of the longest lists of analytes. A laboratory running a minimal list will still have over 80 compounds and laboratories adding appendix mixes can have over 200 compounds in their calibration curves. In this application note read about improved analysis of the EPA method 8270D and that choice of column is fundamental in such situations.

EPA Method 8270D is a complicated method with one of the longest lists of analytes. This application note describes an improved method for EPA Method 8270D exhibited on a Zebron ZB-SemiVolatiles GC column. Results demonstrate superb resolution of key components and improved peak shape of both acids and bases.

This application note demonstrates an improved method for EPA Method 8270D using the Zebron ZB-SemiVolatiles GC column from Phenomenex. The key benefits of this method include, faster run times while still maintaining resolution of key compounds like benzo[b]fluoranthene and benzo[k]fluoranthene and improved peak shape of typically poor performing compounds like phenols and amines.
