Restek is a leading developer and manufacturer of chromatography products. They supply chromatography columns for a range of samples, from water to pharmaceuticals. Read on to discover what leading scientists think of some of their top-rated columns.

Rtx®-1 Columns are general purpose columns for the elimination of solvent impurities. Rachel Bussert of Sage Products uses them for quality control testing.


These are great columns in our lab. Very dependable, and good support from Restek when we have questions. I would recommend them to any lab for routine GC applications.”

Raptor™ Biphenyl LC Columns combine the speed of superficially porous particles with the resolution of highly selective USLC® technology, which enables peak separation and faster analysis times, without expensive UHPLC instrumentation. James Watterson of the Department of Forensic Science at Laurentian University uses them for analysis of post-mortem tissues. Find out more about his research in this exclusive interview.


As promised, this column does a better job of resolving our analytes from matrix constituents than the traditional C18 chemistry we were using.

Raptor™ Biphenyl LC Column

Restek Corp.

With Raptor™ LC columns, Restek chemists became the first to combine the speed of superficially porous particles (also known as SPP or “core-shell” particles) with the resolution of highly selective USLC® technology. This new breed of chromatographic column allows you to more easily achieve peak separation and faster analysis times without expensive UHPLC instrumentation.

Rtx®-1 Columns

Restek Corp.

Rtx®-1 columns exhibit long lifetime and very low bleed at high operating temperatures. A proprietary synthesis process eliminates residual catalysts that could cause degradation and increase bleed.

UHPLC and HPLCHigh performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), also known as UPLC, are analytical techniques used to separate, identify and quantitate components of complex mixtures including biological samples such as proteins and lipids as well as chemical mixtures of pesticides, drugs and oils. Both techniques are liquid chromatographic methods but differ by operating pressures (HPLC < 6000 psi < UHPLC ). Components of HPLC and UHPLC systems include columns, detectors, pumps, autosamplers and column heaters. Explore a range of UHPLC and HPLC columns for your specific sample needs including reverse phase, normal phase, ion exchange, HILIC, ion exclusion and size exclusion columns. For more specialized HPLC, explore FPLC, countercurrent LC and simulated moving bed systems. Find the best UHPLC and HPLC 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. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the best chromatography systems, compare products, read customer reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.GC-MSGas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) combines the separation power of gas chromatography with the detection capabilities of mass spectrometry, allowing for the analysis of complex mixtures. It is widely used in environmental, forensic, and pharmaceutical analysis. Explore GC-MS systems in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.
