New Wool Ensures More Accurate Semivolatiles Analyses

New Semivolatiles Wool, pre-packed in Restek liners, is designed specifically for semivolatiles analysis and result in more accurate results at lower levels, compared to similar products.

Choosing a Liner for Semivolatiles Analyses

Liner choice is a critical decision in semivolatiles analysis. Liners containing wool packing are recommended to minimize molecular weight discrimination. Attributes of different types of liners, including the Drilled Uniliner®, are discussed.

GC Inlet Liner Deactivations for Basic Drug Analysis

Basic drugs can interact with active sites on the surface of the inlet liner, reducing responses. The combination of a base-deactivated liner and a base-deactivated Rtx®-5Amine column ensures the greatest responses in analyses for these compounds.

PTV On-Column Liner Gives You Two Inlets in One

Programmable temperature vaporization inlets are versatile, yet normally do not accommodate on-column injection. Now, using a PTV On-Column liner, the capabilities of PTV can be expanded to include true on-column injections.

Warm Up Before You Run Why conditioning your inlet parts after maintenance is good practice

Background noise in a gas chromatography system can be eliminated by conditioning the system prior to sample analysis. In this article, we discuss warm-up procedures and use liners and liner installation to demonstrate the importance of conditioning the system to remove background peaks. Investing a little time in warming-up the system pays big dividends by preventing costly coelutions and avoidable reanalyses.
