Restek Corp. Products & Reviews

Rtx®-1 columns exhibit long lifetime and very low bleed at high operating temperatures. A proprietary synthesis process eliminates residual catalysts that could cause degradation and increase bleed.

The Ultra line represents Restek’s broadest selection of stationary phases on a single silica support. Made of high-purity, type-B silica that minimizes activity and creates high-density bonding, these columns are designed for selective and reliable HPLC applications.The Ultra Aqueous C18 HPLC column provides reproducible retention times and can be used with highly aqueous mobile phases, which may eliminate the need for sample…

• Wide range of stationary phases offers orthogonal separations. • High thermal stability maximizes system ruggedness and sensitivity. • Unrivaled column inertness for accurate analysis of active compounds. • 0.15, 0.18, and 0.25 mm ID formats accommodate varying sample capacities, speeds, and detectors. • Secondary columns come in convenient 2 m lengths for economical method development. GCxGC is a powerful multidimensional G…

Optimized column selectivities guarantee resolution of ethanol, internal standards, and frequently encountered interferences. Robust and reproducible column chemistry ensures longer column lifetime and consistent results. 2 minute analysis time increases lab productivity. Stable to 260 °C Don’t forget: Blood alcohol analysis requires dual column confirmation when using GC/FID.

Properties: Increased retention for dipolar, unsaturated, or conjugated solutes. Enhanced selectivity when used with methanolic mobile phase. Ideal for increasing sensitivity and selectivity in LC-MS analyses particle size: 3 μm or 5 μm, spherical pore size: 100 Å carbon load: 15% endcap: fully endcapped pH range: 2.5 to 8 temperature limit: 80 °C USP phase: L11 phase category: phenyl ligand type: unique Biphenyl

Rtx®-VMS Columns (fused silica) (proprietary Crossbond® phase) • Application-specific columns for volatile organic pollutants by GC-MS • Complete separation of U.S. EPA Method 8260B compounds in less than 10 minutes • Stable to 260 °C • No known equivalent phases

Developed specifically for using LC coupled with GC-FID to accurately determine hydrocarbons found in mineral oils, which can migrate from packaging into food. • 9-component mix contains non-interfering internal standards as well as both mineral oil saturated hydrocarbon (MOSH) and mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbon (MOAH) markers to correctly cut fractions. • Certified reference material (CRM) manufactured and QC-tested in Re…

Stop spending your time and money developing LC-MS/MS multi-residue pesticide methods and mixing reference standards when you could be running samples. Restek’s trusted food safety experts have already done the work for you—with guaranteed accuracy and at a lower cost.

The Rtx®-Volatile Amine column was designed specifically for analyzing volatile amines in difficult matrices, such as water. The unique base deactivation creates an exceptionally inert surface for these sensitive compounds, resulting in highly symmetrical peaks which allow low detection limits. The stable bonded phase yields a column that is not only retentive and highly selective for these compounds, but is also very robust…

With Raptor™ LC columns, Restek chemists became the first to combine the speed of superficially porous particles (also known as SPP or “core-shell” particles) with the resolution of highly selective USLC® technology. This new breed of chromatographic column allows you to more easily achieve peak separation and faster analysis times without expensive UHPLC instrumentation.

A Restek® LC guard cartridge in an EXP® direct connect holder is the ultimate in column protection.

Restek has raised the bar with a new high-temperature MXT®-Biodiesel TG column line to complement their fused silica column line for biodiesel analysis. These new MXT® -Biodiesel TG columns are stable to 430°C and offer unique retention gap options that minimize dead volume and leaks.

The Raptor™ ARC-18 column is made specifically for high-throughput, low–sample prep LC-MS/MS applications. A well-balanced retention profile offers better detection and integration of large, multiclass analyte lists, and steric protection helps this SPP column endure the harsh, low-pH mobile phases needed for mass spec without sacrificing retention or peak quality.

Diluted and DEA-exempt—no need to purchase costly neat materials or make your own standards. Pair with Restek's THC standards to analyze both neutrals and acids in cannabis products by LC. A must for accurate quantification in medical cannabis potency testing and strain ID.

The Rxi®-PAH GC columns were designed by Restek with a higher phenyl-content stationary phase that provides unique selectivity to separate important polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) for food safety that cannot be distinguished by mass spectrometry. Even difficult priority compounds, such as the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) PAH4, are easily separated and accurately quantified, results that cannot be achieved on…

Improved resolution and faster analyses, compared to 1701 or phenyl phases, make these the pesticide columns of choice.

This new breed of chromatographic column allows you to more easily achieve peak separation and faster analysis times without expensive UHPLC instrumentation.

For ultimate inertness, SilcoCan® air sampling canisters feature our unique Siltek® treatment technology. Even highly active components, at low parts-per-billion concentrations, can be readily sampled and stored without loss. The RAVE™ valve is a high-quality, metal-to-metal seal, 2/3-turn valve with metal diaphragms to prevent sample adsorption for more-accurate results. Both stainless steel and Siltek®-treated RAVE™ valves…
