WAX GC Columns

WAX GC Columns

J&W WAX GC Columns contain a highly polar polyethylene glycol stationary phase, ideal for the analysis of polar compounds.

WAX columns offer unique and sometimes necessary selectivity. J&W WAX GC Columns have a highly polar polyethylene glycol (PEG) stationary phase, ideal for the analysis of polar compounds. Even though each phase is based on the polyethylene glycol polymer, strict control of the crosslinking and deactivation processes results in a variety of unique phase characteristics to meet Gas Chromatography (GC) analysis needs.

WAX GC columns are used primarily to analyze polar compounds, including alcohols, glycols, FAMEs, food and flavors, and petros (aromatics analysis/xylenes).

The DB-HeavyWAX column is used for the analysis of high temp applications for polar analytes, essential oils and flavors & fragrances, other high temperature requirements.The HP-INNOWax and CP-Wax 52 CB columns offer improved inertness and peak shapes for diols, amines, acids and ethyl maltol in additio to exceptional column-to-column reproducibility and improved inertness longevity.

Owner/Consultant, AnalySense

In my 30 years of experience in running virtually every USEPA semivolatile method...the performance of the Agilent J&W DB-UI 8270D GC column has raised the bar for semivolatile analysis...The DB-UI 8270D has demonstrated: • Superior chromatographic resolution (PAHs specifically are phenomenal) • Superior inertness (reactivity of acid-fraction components like 4-Nitrophenol and 2,4-Dinitrophenol, which have low pKa values, is minimal) • Superior breakdown characteristics (4,4'-DDT and Endrin breakdown is well below all method requirements and in many examples <5%!) • Superior peak tailing performance of Pentachlorophenol and Benzidine (Benzidine, for example is Gaussian in peak shape) A

GC Columns for Analyzing Fats and Oils

The analysis of fats and oils is one of the most traditional and challenging applications in Gas Chromatography, and as such, there is a vast number of GC Columns designed specifically for these types of analyses. Unfortunately, choosing the right GC column for the right application is not an easy choice, and most people end up defaulting to a familiar choice that runs ‘just fine’, sacrificing efficiency and productivity in the long term.

This webinar will provide you with a guideline and tips to find out if you are using the right GC column and supplies choice for the right fat & oil application.
