Restek Rxi-5Sil MS GC Capillary Column, 30 m, 0.25 mm ID, 0.25 µm, 13623

Product information "Restek Rxi-5Sil MS GC Capillary Column, 30 m, 0.25 mm ID, 0.25 µm, 13623"

With 30 m length, 0.25 mm inner diameter and 0.25 µm film thickness, the Rxi-5Sil MS 13623 is the longer of the two Rxi-5Sil MS columns in the shop. It is a crosslinked phase of low polarity on fused silica, designed for GC-MS with low column bleed.

Phase structure

The polymer contains phenyl groups in the backbone (silarylene phase). This means better thermal stability, less column bleed and a lower tendency to oxidise. The composition is crosslinked 1,4-bis(dimethylsiloxy)phenylene dimethyl polysiloxane, and the USP phase classes are G27 and G36. The tube material is fused silica.

Comparable phases are found from Agilent (DB-5msUI), Phenomenex (ZB-5MSplus) and Supelco (SLB-5ms). Comparable part numbers are Agilent 122-5532UI and Phenomenex 7HG-G030-11.

Usable temperature range

Lower limit -60 °C, upper limit 320 °C isothermal and 350 °C with a programmed temperature. The values are the same for 15 m and 30 m, so starting at low temperatures is possible in both lengths.

What the dimensions mean

The 30 m gives the length of the capillary tube, 0.25 mm the inner diameter and 0.25 µm the thickness of the phase film on the tube wall. In a crosslinked phase, the polymer chains are linked to one another. In the temperature data, isothermal stands for a constant oven temperature and programmed for an oven temperature changed according to a program.

The second length in the shop

The shorter version 13620 has a length of 15 m with the same diameter and film thickness. Switching between the two lengths changes retention times, so an existing method has to be revalidated.

Typical applications

Designed as a low-bleed GC-MS column, it is intended for these applications:

  • GC-MS analysis of semivolatiles
  • Polycyclic aromatic compounds and chlorinated hydrocarbons
  • Phthalates, phenols and amines
  • Organochlorine and organophosphorus pesticides
  • Pharmaceuticals, solvent impurities and hydrocarbons

Individual requirements and procurement service

Restek offers the Rxi-5Sil MS in further dimensions, in part also as an Integra-Guard column with a built-in guard column. Many other phases and accessories are available as well. LT Laborhandel procures these on request, even if only the Restek part number is available. Send us the part number, or the phase with length, inner diameter and film thickness, and we will get back to you with a quote.
