GENERAL-PURPOSE COLUMNS
Rtx®-225
Rtx®-225 Columns
(fused silica)
(polar phase; Crossbond® cyanopropylmethyl phenylmethyl polysiloxane)
• General-purpose columns for FAMEs, carbohydrates, sterols, flavor compounds.
• Temperature range: 40 °C to 240 °C.
• Equivalent to USP G7, G19 phases.
The cyanopropyl-containing Rtx®-225 phase is slightly less polar than bonded polyeth-
ylene glycol (PEG) phases, but it can be used for many of the same applications.
Improvements to the Rtx®-225 polymer have increased thermal stability, reduced
bleed, and improved inertness. The Rtx®-225 column provides a 20 °C thermal stability
advantage over other “225” columns because of our unique polymer synthesis technol-
ogy and proprietary siloxane deactivation. In most similar columns, the Carbowax®
deactivation layer is not fully compatible with the cyanopropyl siloxane polymer,
which can cause adsorption, tailing of active compounds, and lower efficiency.
