Rxi-PAH Columns
Material: (fused silica)
Phase Information: midpolarity proprietary phase
• Ideal for EFSA PAH4 analysis—separates all priority compounds: benz[a]anthracene, chrysene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, and benzo[a]pyrene.
• Best resolution of chrysene from interfering PAHs, triphenylene, and cyclopenta[cd]pyrene.
• Complete separation of benzo [b], [k], [ j], and [a] fluoranthenes.
• 360 °C thermal stability allows analysis of low-volatility dibenzo pyrenes.
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 typical GC columns. Arylene modification and surface bonding of the stationary phase increase thermal stability and ruggedness so relatively nonvolatile, higher molecular weight PAHs can be analyzed routinely without interference from column bleed.
49316: Narrow inside diameter, thinner film, faster analysis, excellent separation of important PAHs, less sample loading capacity
49317: 0.25 mm inner diameter, better sample loading capacity, highest resolution of important PAHs, longer analysis than 0.18 mm column, thin film allows elution of dibenzo pyrenes
49318: 0.25 mm inside diameter, better sample loading capacity, faster analysis time than 60 m column, adequate resolution of important PAHs, lower cost column
