D3606 Application Column Set (2 column set)
• Complete resolution of benzene from ethanol—no compromising coelutions.
• Accurate quantification of benzene and toluene.
• Fully conditioned two column set—ready to use out of the box.
• Listed in the appendix of ASTM Method D3606 as an acceptable alternative to
TCEP columns—get better separation of benzene and ethanol while still following
ASTM method requirements.
Conforms to the specifications established in the current ASTMmethod D3606 for the
quantitation of benzene and toluene in spark ignition fuel containing ethanol.
*Please add column instrument configuration suffix number to cat.# when ordering. See chart on .
**The column set is designed to accommodate both valve injection and/or syringe injection. Column 1 is configured with
a 2" inlet void to facilitate on-column injection. The inlet is identified on both column 1 and column 2. Note: The inlet of
column 2 is identified for proper orientation for connection to the valve.
