Graphitized carbon black offers unique selectivity and very little adsorption for alcohol analyses. Two types of CarboBlack supports are available, CarboBlack B and CarboBlack C. CarboBlack B support, with its higher surface area, can hold up to a 10% loading of a nonsilicone liquid phase. CarboBlack C support can hold up to a 1% loading of a nonsilicone liquid phase. Many Carbowax 20M-loaded CarboBlack packings are available. CarboBlack packings are treated with KOH or picric acid for basic or acidic compounds, and special alcoholic beverage loadings are available. CarboBlack supports provide resolution and retention similar to Carbopack and Carbograph supports.
