Fused silica is considered to be the purest form of glass, which contains few metal oxides and hydrogen bonding groups. Fixed phases crosslink (polymerize) with each other and also bind to the column surface to provide a high level of stability, thereby reducing column loss at higher temperatures. The excellent inertness of this column means that acidic and alkaline compounds can be analyzed on the same chromatographic column. PerkinElmer offers a variety of specifications and different fillers for gas chromatography columns to meet your different detection needs.

Elite-5ms has a phenyl group bonded to the polymer skeleton as its stationary phase, which can improve thermal stability, reduce column loss, and make the stationary phase less prone to oxidation. This will result in excellent inertness towards the active compound and ultra-low column loss, making it suitable for the high sensitivity requirements of mass spectrometry detectors. Suitable for GC/MS analysis of semi volatile compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons, phthalates, phenols, amines, organochlorine insecticides, organophosphorus pesticides, drugs, and solvent impurities.
