Zebron™ Inferno™ - Phenomenex

Challenges with Traditional GC ColumnsStandard fused silica columns - Shorter lifetimeUnlike the Zebron Inferno GC columns, most fused silica columns are notdeveloped to handle prolong exposure to temperatures above 360 °C.At high temperatures, fused silica GC columns:• Become inflexible and brittle• Break easily and are costly to replace• Require more system downtime to replace columns• Can’t separate high molecular weight compoundsDeterioration of a standard column at high temperaturesMetal columns – Difficult to useThough metal columns have higher temperature limits than capillary columns, theyare more difficult to use.Metal columns:• Inflexible and hard to use• Require special tubing cutters for installation• Prone to leaks from expansion and contraction• Have active surface, giving poor peak shapes for acids and bases• Incompatible with MS detectors4Phenomenex | Tel: 310-212-0555 | Fax: 310-328-7768 | Email: info@phenomenex.com | Web: www.phenomenex.com
