Check the structure of the target components


Investigate the structure (functional group), boiling point, nature, stability, and other properties of the target component.

Select the stationary phase


Selecting a stationary phase of chemical properties close to those of the target component helps
increase retention force and prevent drops in separation caused by defective peak shape.

Determine the column size


Determine the column size according to the sample amount to inject while referring to the following table.

Has extremely high resolution but its sample load is small.


0.18 mm • Samples having a complex mixed system
• Suited to split injection
Has high resolution and a moderate sample load
0.25 mm
• Supports samples having a complex mixed system
Inner Diameter 0.32 mm
• Suited to split/splitless injection
Has satisfactory resolution and a large sample load
• Suited to purity measurement and analysis of trace components
0.53 mm
• Used in direct injection, on-column injection, and large-volume injection
• Can be easily replaced from packed column
• Good separation of high-concentration components
Thick Film
• Suited to purity analysis
Film Thickness • Fast elution of high boiling point compounds
Thin Film • Suited to the analysis of medium to high boiling
point compounds
When twice as long (for fixed-temperature analysis)
Length • The analysis time will be twice

EPA Method 502.2 and in many gasoline range organics (GRO) methods for monitoring underground storage tanks.
• Excellent separation of trihalomethanes; ideal polarity for light hydrocarbons and aromatics.
• Similar phase: DB-502.2

The SH-502.2 column will enable you to quantify all compounds listed in U.S. EPA methods 502.2 or 524.2, whether you
use a mass spectrometer or a PID in tandem with an ELCD. The diphenyl/dimethyl polysiloxane based SH-502.2 stationary
phase provides low bleed and thermal stability to 270 °C. A 105-meter column can separate the light gases specified in
EPA methods without subambient cooling. Narrow bore columns can interface directly in GC/MS systems.

SH-Volatil Amin

• Unique selectivity for baseline resolution of all volatile amines.


• Excellent inertness assures accuracy and sensitivity for volatile amines, including free ammonia.
• Highly robust phase withstands repeated water injections, resulting in longer column lifetime.
• High temperature stability (290 °C) ensures elution of amines up to C16 and allows contaminants to be removed by
"baking out" the column.
• Similar phase: CP-Volamine

The SH-Volatile Amine column was designed specifically for analyzing volatile amines in difficult matrices, such as water.
The unique base deactivation creates an exceptionally inert surface for these sensitive compounds, resulting in highly
symmetrical peaks, which allow low detection limits. The stable bonded phase yields a column that is not only retentive
and highly selective for these compounds but is also very robust and able to withstand repeated water injections.

Connection Parts for Capillary Columns
Press-Tight ™ Connectors

This connector is used to connect capillary columns easily by inserting


the columns into the connector from both ends. When the columns are
coated with polyimide resin, the connection will remain tight almost
permanently and will be completely free of leakage.
Applicable to 0.35 mm to 0.8 mmOD capillary columns.

Description P/N
Press-Tight™ Connector (5 pcs) 221-38102-91
Press-Tight™ Connector (5 pcs with 5 g polyimide resin) 221-38102-92

Main use of Press-Tight ™ connectors


• Connection of broken capillary columns
The connectors are unobtrusive.
• On-column sample injection
Any capillary columns can be used in on-column injection mode by connecting a short wide-bore capillary
columns to the inlet of the column.
• Retention gap method
An about 2 meters long capillary tube with no stationary phase, which is connected to the head of analytical
capillary column, prevents peaks from being split.
• Column conditioning
A short capillary tube, which is connected to the outlet of the column, prevents air (oxygen) from diffusing into
the column, thus preventing the deterioration of liquid phase which is kept at a high temperature.
• Stable storing of capillary columns
Deterioration by air and contamination can be prevented by connecting the both ends with a capillary tube.
