Phenomenex has introduced its Zebron ZB-CLPesticides-1 and 2 for dual-column pesticide testing by GC/ECD (electron capture detection).
The column set is designed to save time and money for chlorinated pesticide testing commonly performed by environmental and drinking water testing labs, which often need to run up to seven EPA methods on a single instrument.
To carry out this testing, labs typically need to perform multiple, time-consuming column changes which can negatively impact productivity.
The Zebron ZB-CLPesticides GC column set, which contains two phases with orthogonal selectivities specifically optimised for pesticide analysis, runs all seven methods, Phenomenex claims.
These new columns expand the Phenomenex Zebron family of products for GC pesticide testing, which also includes ZB-SemiVolatiles and ZB-MultiResidue -1 and 2.
Zebron ZB-CLPesticides-1 and 2 columns also offer a direct, drop-in alternative to Restek chlorinated pesticides columns.
The columns are available individually or packaged in a kit, which also contains a five metre guard column, Y-connector and polyimide resin.
