Rtx®-VMS Columns
(fused silica)
(proprietary Crossbond® phase)
• Application-specific columns for volatile organic pollutants by GC/MS.
• Complete separation of US EPA Method 8260B compounds in less than 10 minutes.
• Stable to 260 °C.
• No known equivalent phases.
Rtx®-VMS columns offer lower bleed, better selectivity, and overall faster analysis for
separating volatile organic compounds, such as those listed in US EPA Method 8260B.
The Rtx®-VMS stationary phase is a highly stable polymer that provides outstanding
analysis of volatile compounds, in combination with sensitive ion traps and Agilent
5973 mass spectrometers. 0.18 and 0.25 mm ID columns allow sample splitting at the
injection port, eliminating the added expense and maintenance of a jet separator. A 0.45
mm or 0.53 mm ID column can be directly connected to the purge & trap transfer line
in a system equipped with a jet separator.
