Abstract:
A recent advancement in GC column deactivation balances chromatographic performance of acidic, basic and neutral analytes at trace level concentrations. This new GC deactivation technology improves polymer adhesion and minimizes residual surface activity for a long lasting, broadly inert surface. GC columns manufactured with this new deactivation technology were challenged with a wide variety of applications, and against traditional 5-type columns. These improvements offer opportunities for method consolidation and trace level analysis that would not be successful with traditional technology.
