Beat high temperature breakage with Restek
MXT®-Biodiesel
TG columns
. More stable than fused silica, for accurate,
reliable performance and longer column lifetime. Available
with either factory- coupled or fully-integrated retention gaps.
Restek has raised the bar with a new high-temperature MXT®-Biodiesel TG column line to comple-
ment our fused silica column line for biodiesel analysis. These new MXT®-Biodiesel TG columns
are stable to 430°C and offer unique retention gap options that minimize dead volume and leaks.
Choose either a 0.32mm column factory-coupled to a 0.53mm retention gap, or select a single unit
0.53mm column featuring Integra-Gap™, a built-in retention gap that eliminates the need for a
connector. Both designs are extremely stable at high temperatures and produce fast elution times
and sharp peaks for high molecular weight glycerides.
