Rtx®-65TG Columns
(fused silica)
(high-polarity phase; Crossbond® diphenyl dimethyl polysiloxane)
• Application-specific columns, specially tested for triglycerides.
• Stable to 370 °C.
The Rtx®-65TG phase resolves triglycerides by degree of unsaturation as well as by car-
bon number. Because of the chemistry required to achieve 370 °C thermal stability, an
Rtx®-65TG column should not be used for the analyses of polar compounds.

Triglycerides in Foods Analysis
crossbond® technology
Reduces bleed, prolongs column lifetime,
and allows rejuvenation through solvent
rinsing.
please note
Triglycerides are often injected via on-column injection. Use 0.53 mm retention gaps
and appropriate connectors.
• Vu2 Union® connectors (see
page 229.)
• MXT®-Union connector kits for fused silica (see page
231.)
