High-performance wax column for GC and GC/MS analysis of polar compounds

Varian Inc. announced the VF-WAXms, the new wax column for the analysis of polar compounds by GC/MS. VF-WAXms is the first ultra-low bleed wax column, plus the first high-performance wax GC column designed to be used with mass spectrometry. VF-WAXms is ideal for trace analysis as the ultra-low bleed provides better signal to noise ratios. A polyethylene glycol (PEG) coated phase provides high selectivity and the VF-WAXms features an operating range of 20 C to 250 C for maximum flexibility. The VF-WAXms is manufactured for food, beverage, flavour, FAME, acid, alcohol, aromatic and fragrance applications, especially where trace analysis is needed. Lower limits of detection enable the accurate separation of polar compounds. The columnʼs ultra-low bleed increases sensitivity, extends column life and improves accuracy, even at higher temperatures. In addition, VF-WAXms columns are suitable for use with MS detectors, as the ultra-low bleed eliminates interferences and permits more sensitive detection. Advanced coating technology means the VF-WAXms columns are highly inert, resulting in better chromatograms and enhancing critical pair separation.
