Rxi®-624Sil MS Columns
(fused silica)
(midpolarity Crossbond® phase)
• Low-bleed, high-thermal stability column—maximum temperatures up to 320 °C.
• Inert—excellent peak shape for a wide range of compounds.
• Selective—G43 phase highly selective for volatile organics and residual solvents,
great choice for USP<467>.
• Manufactured for column-to-column reproducibility—well-suited for validated
methods.

Resolution of critical pairs, low bleed,
and high inertness make this a great
column for volatiles!
