Abstract:
WAX columns based on 100% Polyethylene Glycol stationary phase are used for the analysis of a variety of compounds, such as industrial chemicals, but often suffer from a limitation of upper temperature limit, mainly up to 250°C/260°C and high bleed level resulting in low sensitivity, low reproducibility, poor column lifetime and increased analysis time. The new High-Temperature WAX (DB-Heavy Wax) GC column, has an extended upper temperature limit, up to 280°C/290°C and decreased bleed. In comparison to other Wax columns the DB-Heavy Wax shows superior performance for thermal stability at extended upper temperature limit, increased reproducibility, and improved column lifetime.
