Improved Recovery and Peak Shape

The Benefits of Glass Infusion™ Technology

The Zebron ZB-1XT SimDist metal columns employ a new proprietary bonding called Glass Infusion Technology. The Glass Infusion technology starts by depositing a very uniform layer of glass that completely covers the internal metal surfaces of the column. The result is a uniform coating throughout the column.

Glass Enclosed
  • Uniform Glass Infusion ensures adequate covering of exposed metal to promote better recovery and peak shape.
  • Each Zebron ZB-1XT is individually tested to confirm and ensure excellent reproducibility.
  • The uniform glass coating provides a consistent foundation for stationary phase bonding, thus promoting better over-all efficiency and resolution.

Exposed Metal
  • Non-glass infused with exposed metal can cause tailing peaks and sample adsorption.
  • Some manufacturers batch test their columns, leading to poor column-to-column reproducibility.
  • These exposed surfaces result in abnormal bonding of the stationary phase which affects chromatographic performance, decreases efficiencies, and inconsistent performance between columns.
