Fast Analysis of Over 60 Multiclass Antibiotics on a Raptor C18 LC Column
Using antibiotics on food-producing animals is a public health and safety concern due to the potential of generating drug-resistant bacteria. As food-safety agencies worldwide implement policies on their use, a sensitive, efficient, and reliable analytical method for different classes of antibiotics is necessary, and Restek’s Raptor C18 LC column meets this need.
Eliminate Matrix Contaminants and Reruns on Your Pesticide Analysis with CarboPrep Plus SPE Cartridges
Protecting your GCs from inlet or column-contaminating matrix components can be difficult, especially for labs performing organochlorine pesticide analysis. Restek’s CarboPrep Plus SPE cartridges use the same equipment and procedure as Florisil cartridges but do a much better job at removing inlet-contaminating matrix components that may be present in your customers’ samples.
Optimized Volatiles Analysis Using Restek’s Rtx-VMS GC Column and Certified Reference Materials (CRMs)
Monitoring programs of volatiles in soil and water samples often use GC purge-and-trap analysis to track VOC contamination. However, resolution of gases has always been problematic for columns with diphenyl/dimethyl polysiloxane stationary phases. Restek’s Rtx-VMS column—optimized for volatiles analysis—paired with Restek CRMs can increase data quality and lab productivity.
Preventing LC Column Clogs
Whether you’re performing HPLC or UHPLC, particulates are a common source of elevated back pressure, which can greatly impact LC column efficiency and lifetime. In this Restek Tip video, we share some best practices and routine maintenance advice to help keep your column clean and performing at its best.
High Throughput, 15-Minute, Low-Level PAH GC-MS Analysis
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are analyzed at low levels around the world to protect human and environmental health. Here, we show how Restek’s Rxi-5Sil MS column, combined with Restek’s certified reference materials (CRMs), and GC Accelerator kit can be used to reduce the overall cycle time to increase sample throughput.
Analyze Seven EPA Methods on a Single Rtx-CLPesticides GC Column Set
Chlorinated pesticides, PCBs, herbicides, and other halogenated compounds can be analyzed on a single column set using dual column analysis and a micro-ECD. Restek’s Rtx-CLPesticides and Rtx-CLPesticides2 columns have a unique selectivity and outperform other column sets for multiple GC-ECD methods.
