Phenomenex has introduced the Zebron ZB-drug-1 column for GC analysis of drugs of abuse.
The company said that the Zebron ZB-drug-1 column is 50 per cent faster than existing technologies and delivers improved resolution of target analytes.
Zebron ZB-drug-1 is a mid-polarity stationary phase that separates analytes from the common matrix interferences found in biological samples.
Many drugs of abuse are difficult to separate because they have similar structures.
The Zebron ZB-drug-1 columns separate all common drugs of abuse, replacing the multiple tests required with other GC columns.
Zebron's deactivation procedure improves peak shape for acidic and basic drugs, enabling more accurate quantitation.
