Restek Rt®-2560 Column

 High polar phase: biscyanopropyl polysiloxane—not bonded Similar Phases: HP-88, CP-Sil 88, SP-2560
 Application-specific column for cis/trans FAMEs

Rtx®-Wax columns are the most inert and efficient PEG columns
0.50 20 to 250 RTK-12435 RTK-12438 RTK-12441
currently available. The extended operating temperature range
0.32 0.25 20 to 250 — RTK-12424 RTK-12427
allows analysis of compounds having a wide volatility range and
ensures low bleed at temperatures as high as 250 °C. Selectivity 0.50 20 to 250 RTK-12436 RTK-12439 RTK-12442
is comparable to other Carbowax® columns for compounds of 1.00 20 to 240/250 RTK-12451 RTK-12454 RTK-12457
intermediate to high polarity. 0.53 0.25 20 to 250 — RTK-12425 —
