The Perfect Combination of Low Bleed, Thermal Stability, and Easy Puncturability!Molded Thermogreen LB-2 septa are manufactured from high quality, low bleed material using the same exclusive LB-2 rubber formulation that chromatographers are accustomed to using. The difference is that molded septa, unlike traditional die-cut septa, offer easier installation and better sealing inside the injection port. This is because our liqui…

Supelco provides high quality derivatization reagents for silylation.Silylation is the most widely used derivatization technique. Functional groups that present a problem with gas chromatogaphy detection - hydroxyl, carboxylic acid, amine, thiol, phosphate - can be derivatized by silylation reagents. Silylation involves replacement of the acidic hydrogen with an alkylsilyl group, for example, -SiMe3.Silylation derivatives are…

Supelco provides high quality derivatization reagents for acylation.Acylation, an alternative to silylation, allows the conversion of compounds with active hydrogen such as -OH, -SH, and -NH into esters, thioesters and amines, respectively. A very popular example of this method is the insertion of perfluoracyl groups to enable electron capture detection (ECD). Carbonyl groups adjacent to halogenated carbons enhance the ECD res…

Supelco provides high quality derivatization reagents for akylation and esterification.Alkylation is the replacement of the active hydrogen in R-COOH, R-OH, R-SH, R-NH, R-NH2, R-CONH2, R-CONH-R′ with an alkyl group, or sometimes an aryl group.Esterification is the first choice for derivatization of carboxylic acids and other acidic functional groups. Acids are reactive compounds, and are too polar to be well separated by gas c…
