Micropacked GC Columns
- Increased efficiency over traditional packed columns.
- Higher capacity than PLOT columns.
- Made from inert, flexible Siltek®-treated stainless steel tubing.
- Siltek®-treated, braided-wire end plug keeps packing intact, even under intense
pressure surges during valve switching.
- Wide range of packings available.
Efficient, inert, and flexible
Micropacked columns are highly efficient and provide good sample capacity. With our inert Siltek® treatment, micropacked columns are a powerful tool for solving many difficult application problems. Because the Siltek® treatment permeates the stainless steel surface, the column can be flexed and coiled without any fear of chipping or cracking the inert surface.
Easy to install--multiple internal diameters
Our micropacked columns are designed to fit packed and capillary injection systems. 1mm ID, standard wall ( 1/16-inch OD) micropacked columns offer improved efficiency in packed column instruments, without the expense of converting to capillary injection systems. 0.75mm ID, thin wall (0.95mm OD) micropacked columns install easily into a capillary injector, using slightly larger ferrules. Micropacked columns operate at flows exceeding 10cc/min., for trouble-free operation.
Braided wire end plugs
Glass wool end plugs can be dislodged easily by carrier gas pressure surges. Restek’s chemists insert braided wire into the column and secure it by making a small crimp near the column outlet. End plugs are Siltek® treated--the sample contacts only inert surfaces.
