Our new inert LC column technology helps labs improve their analysis of metal-sensitive compounds. A premium inert coating applied to the stainless-steel surface of our LC columns reduces nonspecific binding of chelating analytes, enabling sensitive analysis and smooth integration of peaks. Combined with Restek’s selective stationary phases, these new inert LC columns are ideal for the analysis of metal-sensitive compounds.

Properties:
- Compatible with moderately acidic to neutral mobile phases (pH 28).
- Excellent data quality in food, environmental, bioanalytical, and other applications.
Switch to a C18 when:
- You need a general-purpose column for reversed-phase chromatography.
- You need to increase retention of hydrophobic compounds.
