100% Aqueous Stability for Polar Compounds
Enhanced Aqueous Stability
- 100 % aqueous stable, excellent for aqueous samples
- Extremely inert for acidic compounds
- Enhanced selectivity for low boiling solvents
- High retention of alcohols and chlorinated solvents
- Increased efficiency at 20 °C
No Way!
A specialized bonding procedure makes ZB-WAXplus columns exceptionally stable to replicate injections of water-based matrices, while maintaining the selectivity that makes them the scientist’s choice for highly polar compounds.
WAX columns from different manufacturers are not always created equal!
As part of the Zebron PLUS GC column family, ZB-WAXPLUS is manufactured using improved technologies that reflect our attention to detail every aspect of a ZB-WAXPLUS column’s anatomy is meticulously engineered and individually tested for unprecedented performance.

Water Reproducibility of ZB-WAXPLUS
Historically, polyethylene glycol (PEG) phases have been unstable with aqueous samples such as beverages or glycols, resulting in poor reproducibility and decreased lifetime. The ZB-WAXplus bonding procedure results in exceptional stability to repeated injections of aqueous matrices.
Phenomenex: ZebronWAXplus - Reproducibility and Stability Test
ZB-WAXPLUS provides optimal selectivity for many aqueous soluble compounds such as those found in alcoholic beverages or glycol samples. The ZB WAXPLUS bonding process results in exceptional stability to repeated injections of aqueous matrices like whiskey. Multiple or routine water injections will not alter the efficiency or polarity of the phase over time.

Phenomenex Zebron PLUS GC Columns
What’s in the Zebron™ PLUS?
- Active sites on a GC column’s surface can result in analyte adsorption and degradation, which negatively affect peak shape and response.
- To reduce potential surface activity, Zebron PLUS phases (ZB-1plus, ZB-5plus, ZB-5MSplus, and ZB-624plus) are designed with a rigorous fused silica deactivation process that improves inertness and peak shapes for troublesome compounds
- Zebron ZB-WAXPLUS is specially designed for 100% aqueous stability, enhanced resolution and better reproducibility.
