Page 2: Gc Column Installation
GC Column Installation A. Capillary GC Installation with a Traditional GC Nut Note: GC columns do not have a specific directional flow when received from the manufacturer. Upon initial use of your new Zebron column, Phenomenex recommends ™ the practice of dedicating one specific end of the column for injector installation only. This is particularly important when dealing with active/caustic or contaminating compounds. - Page 3 Short-Style Ferrules AG0-8320 Cool-Lock GC Capillary Nut For Use with AG0-8420 Cool-Lock Nut Installation Gauge Long-Style Ferrules **Guaranteed fit for Shimadzu QP-2010 and QP 2014 GC systems AG0-8349 Cool-Lock Nut Installation Gauge Replacement Ferrules AG0-4701 GC Capillary Ferrules Graphite ⁄...

Standards to establish the baseline performance characteristics of your column and to monitor any changes over time. Test solutions should evaluate column inertness, efficiency and resolution in an easy-to-use format. Most Phenomenex test mixes are supplied ready to use at a concentration of 250 μg/mL in glass ampules. -

The easiest way to reduce column contamination is to add a short, high 3. Use a Wool Liner temperature bake out at the end of the standard GC method. This bake out helps remove high boiling contaminants that would otherwise remain in the column The liner is the first line of defense for the column and the style chosen can make and cause damage. -
Page 6: Carrier Gas Selection And Flow Optimization
Ensure a flow of carrier gas through the column at 100-200 °C. For long-term film columns, nitrogen yields the highest number of theoretical plates. storage, disconnect from the GC and cap or seal the capillary ends. Oxygen However, the optimal velocity is fairly low (long analysis times), and the and moisture can degrade or irreversibly damage the column, especially loss in efficiency at higher velocities is high. -

GC Hints and Tips D. Chemical Compatibility / Solvent Rinsing of Zebron Capillary Columns ™ Important! Water and organic solvents such as those listed in Table 1 will not damage Zebron column stationary phases. However, inorganic acids and bases should be completely avoided or rapid degradation and permanent damage to the stationary phase will result. - Page 8 500/Pk AF0-1202-52 500/Pk Please inquire with Phenomenex about other Phenex Syringe filters offerings.
