Designed for difficult-to-analyze separations
We manufactured these Thermo Scientific GC columns using proprietary polymer and surface treatments to overcome problems traditionally associated with high-polarity columns and difficult-to-analyze separations.
Popular polar gas chromatography columns
Polar GC Columns
Common applications:
- Alcohols, esters and ketones
- Organic acids / fatty acids
- Fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) cis/trans isomers
- Solvents
- Flavor compounds
- Aromatic isomers
- Herbicides
- Essential oils and volatiles
Column |
Recommended Application |
|---|---|
| TraceGOLD™ TG-WaxMS GC Columns | Analyze FAMEs using these columns with a polar-deactivated surface that tightly binds polymer, providing thermal stability and a resistivity to damage from oxidation and from strongly acidic or basic volatiles better than silicone solid phases. |
| TraceGOLD™ TG-WaxMS GC Columns with SafeGuard | Produce consistent results with this low-bleed, stable column integrated with Safeguard to extend column life without compromising performance. |
| TraceGOLD™ TG-WaxMT Metal GC Columns | Ensure excellent column-to-column reproducibility with these thermally stable columns that are resistive to damage from oxidation and from strongly acidic or basic volatiles |
| TraceGOLD™ TG-WaxMS A GC Columns | Identify organic acids with high performance, sensitivity and reproducibility while preventing oxidative damage with these low-bleed columns |
| TraceGOLD™ TG-WaxMS B GC Columns | Identify basic analytes with high performance, sensitivity and reproducibility without derivatization or column priming using these collumns |
| TraceGOLD™ TG-POLAR GC Columns | Use the low bleed, stable columns to produce consistent results while overcoming problems traditionally associated with polar colums |
| TRACE™ TR-Wax GC Columns | Analyze a wide range of polar compounds with these cross-linked and fully deactivated polyethylene-glycol-based columns optimized for all polar compounds to provide excellent peak shape even with short chain alcohols |
| TRACE™ TR-WaxMS GC Columns | For high-polarity separations as part of GC-MS analysis, choose these low-bleed columns manufactured using a proprietary bonding technique that minimizes bleed and extends the maximum operating temperature |
| TRACE™ TR-FFAP GC Columns | For outstanding robustness in difficult-to-analyze separations even at elevated temperatures, choose these low-bleed columns that are quality-tested for acidic compound analysis |
| TRACE™ TR-FAME GC Columns | Use these cyanopropylphenyl-based columns optimized for the separation of cis/trans isomers and FAMEs with various degrees of unsaturation and for any high polarity GC application used with MS detection |
