Increase Your Analytical Confidence For Challenging Polar Compounds Agilent J&W DB-WAX Ultra Inert GC columns Now You Can Achieve Better Peak Shape and Reproducibility for Challenging Polar Compounds GC columns with polyethylene glycol (PEG) stationary phases are commonly used for analyzing compounds with polar functional groups. They are well suited for food, flavor, and fragrance applications, as well as industrial chemical analysis in quality control and method development labs. For active and complex polar compounds, you cannot afford adsorption caused by flow path activity. Having to repeat or verify suspect analyses wastes valuable resources, hinders productivity, and hurts your bottom line. Unreliable results can also have serious implications in the quality of the foods we eat—and the products that consumers and businesses use every day. Perform worry-free analysis of polar – Implement easily, with minimal workflow compounds with NEW Agilent J&W interruption: DB-WAX UI GC columns have DB-WAX Ultra Inert GC columns the same selectivity as DB-WAX GC columns. This capability makes upgrading to Ultra Inert With their Durabond polyethylene glycol stationary performance easy, with minimal validation. phase and proprietary processing, DB-WAX Ultra What’s more, there’s no need to recreate or Inert GC columns deliver excellent inertness with modify existing compound libraries that are greater sensitivity than any other WAX column on based on DB-WAX selectivity. the market. These innovative columns let you: – Spend less time on troubleshooting and reruns: With DB-WAX UI GC columns, you can count on excellent peak shape and column-to-column inertness reproducibility, as well as retention time stability. – Save money on columns and maintenance: DB-WAX UI has extended inertness lifetime that withstands repeated temperature cycling to the upper temperature limits of the column. – Stop wasting time prequalifying columns: Specific inertness testing during quality control guarantees out-of-the-box inertness performance for every DB-WAX UI column. 2 Trust Ultra Inert GC columns for your trace-level analysis of active analytes DB-WAX UI GC columns are part of the Agilent J&W Ultra Inert GC column family, which pushes industry standards for consistent column inertness. Every Ultra Inert GC column is rigorously tested to ensure optimal active analyte delivery to the GC or MS detector. The result: optimal, lower detection limits and more accurate identification of challenging polar analytes.
