Professor Walter Jennings

The “Replacement” Column, A Recurring Problem in Gas Chromatography: Professor Walter Jennings discusses why analysts often encounter problems when replacing a capillary
GC column, and provides a solution.

Chemical/Petrochemical

Analyze Hydrocarbons on OPN/Res-Sil™ C Bonded GC Packing: In process GC analyses, this material offers unique selectivity for the difficult-to-separate saturated and unsaturated C4 hydrocarbons, eluting cis-2-butene before 1,3-butadiene . Innovative bonding chemistry assures batch-to-batch reproducibility, excellent thermal stability, and long column life.

Clinical/Forensics

Sensitive GC/MS Analysis for Drugs of Abuse: An Rxi™-5ms column will resolve acidic/neutral or free basic drugs under one set of conditions. There is no interference from column bleed — not even at 330°C. This is one of the first published applications for our new family of Rxi™ columns.

Environmental

Monitoring Petroleum Hydrocarbons by Solid Phase Extraction/GC: New manufacturing processes for our Massachusetts TPH solid phase extraction cartridges reduce extractable contaminants almost to blank levels, and assure more reliable fractionation of aliphatics from aromatics. Large, uniform lots of silica reduce the frequency of verifying fractionation results.

Pharmaceutical

RP-HPLC Analysis of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors: Two Restek columns provide good retention, selectivity, and peak shape for SSRIs, without ion-pairing chromatography. Choose an Allure™ Basix column and neutral pH conditions, or an Ultra PFP column and acidic conditions — either will improve performance for these basic compounds, relative to alkyl phases.
