The Importance of Inertness
As your analytes of interest proceed through your GC flow path, they are vulnerable to adsorption by active sites. This activity results in peak tailing, retention time shifting and complete loss in peak detection in extreme cases. Because the GC column makes up the largest surface area within your GC flow path, inert columns play a vital role in ensuring the sensitivity, accuracy, and reliability of your analytical data. Every J&W Ultra Inert GC column is rigorously tested to ensure optimal delivery of your analytes to the detector.
