Improvements in polymer synthesis and tubing deactivation enable us to make inert, stable Rxi-XLB columns especially well-suited for analyzing active, high molecular weight compounds with sensitive GC-MS systems, including ion trap detectors. Excellent efficiency, coupled with inertness, low bleed, and high thermal stability, make Rxi-XLB columns ideal for analyzing semivolatile compounds in drinking water.
Rxi-XLB columns are a great choice for semivolatile organics analysis by EPA Method 525.2. An Rxi-XLB column plus some simple adjustments to the injection conditions can greatly improve sensitivity for active and high molecular weight Method 525.2 target compounds. For this application, also consider a drilled Uniliner inlet liner, which eliminates contact between the sample and the hot metal surfaces in the injection port, helping prevent analytes from degrading in the injection port.
