Phenomenex has introduced Zebron ZB-SemiVolatiles GC columns to the European market.
Specially designed for the separation of semivolatile compounds, the new columns feature Phenomenex’s proprietary Enviro-Inert technology, designed to improve column inertness for ultra-low-level detection without altering selectivity.
Zebron ZB-SemiVolatiles GC columns separate 135 compounds in less than 14 minutes, and exceed the demands of suitability requirements of regulatory methods like EPA 8270D.
The new columns are claimed to be ideal for semivolatile compound analysis in drinking water, wastewater and soil samples and other environmental applications.
Zebron ZB-SemiVolatiles GC columns aim to deliver rugged performance in addition to improved peak shapes and response for acids, amines and PAHs.
The offering provides the same elution order when switching from other five percent phenyl-arylene columns. Zebron columns hold calibration and are rugged enough to withstand multiple injections, for long life and reduced downtime.
Each ZB-SemiVolatiles GC column is individually QC-tested using two rigorous, specially designed mixes.
The first is a traditional mix that tests for efficiency, selectivity, bleed and general activity. The second is the 8270D tune mix, which includes an MS tuning standard (DFTPP), the 8270D suitability compounds (Benzidine, Pentachlorophenol, and DDT) and an additional test probe (Pyridine, an active base).
