midpolarity Crossbond phase
Rtx-1701 is one of the more popular stationary phases used in capillary GC. The mix of cyano and phenyl functional groups increases the polarity and offers a different elution order relative to less polar Rtx-1 or Rtx-5 columns. An Rtx-1701 column is ideal for confirmation analysis in combination with an Rtx-35 or Rtx-5 column. The polymer is fully characterized to ensure long-term reproducibility, column-to-column consistency, and low bleed, even with sensitive detectors such as ECDs and MSDs.
- General-purpose columns for alcohols, oxygenates, PCB congeners (e.g., Aroclor mixes), pesticides, and fragrance compounds.
- Equivalent to USP G46 phase
