Restek Rxi-5ms GC Capillary Column, 30 m, 0.25 mm ID, 0.25 µm, 13423

Product information "Restek Rxi-5ms GC Capillary Column, 30 m, 0.25 mm ID, 0.25 µm, 13423"

The Rxi-5ms is the Rxi version of the 5-phase: a crosslinked diphenyl dimethyl polysiloxane of low polarity on fused silica. Length 30 m, inner diameter 0.25 mm, film thickness 0.25 µm. The column is tested for extremely low column bleed, and the signal-to-noise ratio is improved.

USP phase and temperature

The USP designations are G27 and G36. The temperature limits are -60 °C to 330 °C isothermal and 350 °C programmed.

Rxi-5ms, Rtx-5ms or Rxi-5Sil MS

The shop offers several 5-phases with the same dimensions. The Rtx-5ms is a 5 % diphenyl/95 % dimethyl polysiloxane phase with the same temperature limits as the Rxi-5ms. The Rxi-5Sil MS is a silarylene phase with phenyl groups in the polymer backbone, and its isothermal limit is somewhat lower at 320 °C, while programmed it is 350 °C as with the Rxi-5ms. There is also the Rtx-5 with 0.32 mm ID and 1.00 µm film thickness.

Selection by application list

Phenols, residual solvents and drugs of abuse are on the list for the Rxi-5ms. The Rxi-5Sil MS also names phthalates, amines, organochlorine and organophosphorus pesticides, pharmaceuticals and polycyclic aromatic compounds, and is designed for GC-MS of semivolatiles. Phenols and solvent impurities are listed for both columns.

Dimensions at a glance

The Rxi-5ms is 30 m long, with an inner diameter of 0.25 mm and a film thickness of 0.25 µm. The Rtx-5ms and Rxi-5Sil MS share these dimensions. The Rtx-5ms has the same temperature limits, while the Rxi-5Sil MS is 10 °C lower isothermally at 320 °C.

Typical applications

  • General-purpose column for phenols
  • Residual solvents
  • Drugs of abuse
  • Pesticides
  • PCB congeners, for example Aroclor mixtures
  • Solvent impurities

To clarify the terms: residual solvents are solvent residues in products. PCB congeners are the individual polychlorinated biphenyls, and Aroclor is the trade name of technical PCB mixtures.
