A low- to midpolarity phase general-purpose columns for residual solvents, alcohols, oxygenates, and volatile organic compounds. Equivalent to USP G43 phase.   Many analysts feel the Rtx-1301 column has the best cyanosiloxane bonded stationary phase available, with no other column manufacturer providing lower bleed, longer lifetime, or better inertness. The polymer is fully characterized to ensure long-term reproducibili…

A highly polar phase; biscyanopropyl polysiloxane—not bonded

SilcoSmooth Stainless Steel Separate permanent gases, including carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, without cryogenic cooling. Rapid separations of permanent gas/light hydrocarbon mixtures. Excellent compatibility with most GC detectors—minimal bleed, minimal baseline rise. Preconditioned, less than 30 minutes to stabilize. Maximum temperature of 280 °C/300 °C.

By adding β or γ cyclodextrin to our bonded Rtx-1701 stationary phase, we greatly enhance overall utility and column lifetime for our chiral columns, compared to columns that have pure cyclodextrin stationary phases. Separations of more than one hundred chiral compounds have been achieved using our unique DEX columns, and our columns continue to demonstrate stability after hundreds of temperature program cycles. What are ch…

Low-polarity proprietary phase

Certified reference materials (CRMs) manufactured and QC tested in  ISO-accredited labs  satisfy your ISO requirements.

(fused silica PLOT)

UHP stainless steel regulators are the standard for ultra-high-purity and corrosion-resistant pressure regulation. They are more easily purged of atmospheric components compared to brass gas regulators, making them ideal for the most demanding applications. Stainless steel is especially useful in atmospheres of dry corrosive gases such as hydrogen. All regulators are rated to 3,000 psig (20,684 kPa) maximum inlet pressure.…

Designed specifically for semivolatiles (SVOC) analysis, Restek’s new Rxi-SVOCms columns are designed to provide consistent performance that will keep calibrations passing longer so more samples can be run before needing to recalibrate the instrument or replace the column.

General purpose columns for FAMEs, flavor compounds, essential oils, solvents, xylene isomers, and US EPA Method 603 (acrolein/acrylonitrile). Resistant to oxidative damage. Temperature range: 40°C to 260°C. Equivalent to USP G14, G15, G16, G20, and G39 phases. The polar-deactivated surface tightly binds the Carbowax® polymer and increases thermal stability, relative to competitive columns.

Restek's new line of fused silica capillary GC columns - Rxi® columns - is now available! 

Rxi® fused silica capillary GC columns were designed specifically to be the best columns available, for exceptional inertness, ultra-low bleed, and reproducible retention and selectivity.

Restek's former Rtx®-17 columns are now manufactured using new Rxi® column technology--for unsurpassed inertness, ultra-low bleed, guaranteed reproducibility, and unmatched performance!

Rxi® fused silica capillary GC columns were designed specifically to be the best columns available, for exceptional inertness, ultra-low bleed, and reproducible retention and selectivity.

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.

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.
