Rtx®-624 Columns
(fused silica)
(low- to midpolarity phase)
• Application-specific columns for volatile organic pollutants. Recommended
in U.S. EPA methods for volatile organic pollutants.
• Temperature range: -20 °C to 240 °C.
• Equivalent to USP G43 phase.
The unique polarity of the Rtx®-624 column makes it ideal for analyzing volatile or-
ganic pollutants. Although the Rtx®-502.2 column is recommended in many methods,
the Rtx®-624 column offers better resolution of early eluting compounds. The Rtx®-624
phase produces greater than 90% resolution of the first six gases in EPA Methods 8260
and 524.2. This stationary phase is especially well-suited for EPA Method 524.2 since it
resolves 2-nitropropane from 1,1-dichloropropanone, which share quantification ion
m/z 43 and must be separated chromatographically.
