Product news

Specifically applicated for LAO impurity analysis, Restek’s new Rxi-LAO GC columns provide accurate analysis of these compounds, including 1-butene, 1-hexene, and 1-octene. Combining a stationary phase with a unique selectivity and an optimal, one-column method, these new columns help labs improve their analysis by increasing system uptime and sample throughput.

Rxi-LAO columns are defined by four key features:

  • Unique selectivity enables high resolution of impurities from peaks of interest for excellent data quality.
  • One-column method reduces instrument setup and analysis time.
  • Application specific column dimensions increase sample throughput.
  • Pro EZGC chromatogram modeler libraries simplify analysis optimization.

As worldwide demand for polyethylene increases, so does the pressure on labs performing LAO impurity analysis. Switching to Restek’s Rxi-LAO columns help labs achieve significant savings in time and resources when performing this critical analysis.

Gas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and quantitate mixtures of small and volatile compounds. Gas chromatographs or GC systems include components such as GC columns, detectors, pumps and autosamplers. Choose from packed or capillary GC columns, flame ionization (FID), photoionization (PID) electron capture detectors and selective or non-selective detectors. Find the best gas chromatographs in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.LC-MSLC-MS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) systems and equipment are used for separation and quantitative analysis of complex mixtures, combining liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Quantify proteins, contaminants, pesticides or screen for drug metabolites with a high level of sensitivity. LC-MS systems and equipment include reverse phase, normal phase and specialized columns integrated with various MS detectors such as time-of-flight (TOF), quadrupole, orbitrap or ion trap mass analyzers. LC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzer give greater sensitivity and resolving power to your analysis. Find the best LC-MS equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.ChromatographyChromatography is a powerful technique used to separate and analyze components of mixtures based on their chemical properties. It is widely used in fields like biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, and environmental analysis. By exploiting differences in the interaction of substances with a stationary phase and a mobile phase, chromatography enables precise purification and quantification of compounds. Whether you're working with complex biological samples or industrial chemicals, chromatography is essential for obtaining high-quality results.
