Phenomenex Zebron PLUS GC Inlet Liners

GC liners Zebron PLUS with unique deactivation ensure high inertness for trace and active compound analysis.

<p class="cke-user_style-important"><strong>Protect and Increase the Lifetime of Your GC Column</strong></p><h4><strong>Why Use Pre-Packed Liners?</strong></h4><p>Though the upfront cost of self-packing your liner may seem attractive, the time and headaches caused by resulting tailing or irreproducible peaks can be sizeable! Self-packed wool fibers commonly break during installation and any existing deactivation on the liner can also be scratched or damaged. Pre-packed Zebron PLUS liners undergo the deactivation process with the quartz wool already in place, which ensures that any active sites that form during packing are not exposed.</p><h4><strong>Deactivation Protects Your Samples</strong></h4><h5><strong>See the difference: Zebron PLUS vs. Traditional Deactivation</strong></h5><p>Zebron PLUS GC inlet liners undergo a unique deactivation process, resulting in a remarkably inert pathway that prevents sample adsorption and degradation for active compounds.</p><p><strong>A: Zebron PLUS Deactivation</strong></p><p>Every batch of Zebron PLUS liners is manufactured with a thick layer of vapor-deposited deactivation for the highest inertness. They are then tested for activity using both EPA Methods 8081 and 8270 to ensure the highest level of sample protection possible.</p><p><strong>B: Traditional Deactivation</strong></p><p>Traditionally, liners have only been passivated with thin deactivation layers – and sometimes have not at all – putting your analytes at risk of adsorption or degradation!</p><p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Phenomenex_Zebron_PLUS_vs_Traditional_Deactivation_5c8ce20af6.jpg" alt="Phenomenex: Zebron PLUS vs. Traditional Deactivation" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Phenomenex_Zebron_PLUS_vs_Traditional_Deactivation_5c8ce20af6.jpg 245w," sizes="100vw" width="909" height="567"><br>&nbsp;</p><h4><strong>Easy, Touch free Installation</strong></h4><ul><li>Remarkably inert GC inlet liners for superior sample protection</li><li>Easy to install, touchless packaging allows you to protect yourself from cuts or breakage</li><li>Eliminates contamination that may occur during the installation process</li></ul><p><strong>A: Pre-installed o-ring saves steps</strong></p><p><strong>B: Touchless installation prevents contamination</strong></p><p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Phenomenex_Easy_Touch_free_Installation_of_Zebron_GC_Inlet_Liner_dd54ebc577.jpg" alt="Phenomenex: Easy, Touch free Installation of Zebron GC Inlet Liner" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Phenomenex_Easy_Touch_free_Installation_of_Zebron_GC_Inlet_Liner_dd54ebc577.jpg 245w," sizes="100vw" width="907" height="573"></p><h4><strong>Liner Geometry Improves Performance</strong></h4><p>The geometry of a liner refers to the type and shape of a liner.

At high temperatures, fused silica GC columns:</p><ul><li>Become inflexible and brittle</li><li>Break easily and cause costly replacement</li><li>Require more system downtime for maintenance</li><li>Can’t separate high molecular weight compounds</li></ul><h5><strong>Challenge # 2: Cumbersome Metal Column Tubing</strong></h5><p>Though metal columns have higher temperature limits than capillary columns, they are more difficult to use.</p><p><strong>Most metal columns:</strong></p><ul><li>Are inflexible and hard to use</li><li>Require special tubing cutters for installation</li><li>Are prone to leaks from expansion and contraction</li><li>Have active surfaces, giving poor peak shapes for acids and bases</li><li>Are incompatible with MS detectors</li></ul><h3><strong>How it works</strong></h3><p>Zebron™ Inferno™ columns offer enhanced performance where other columns fail. The two critical factors that allow for this are:</p><ul><li><h5><strong>Advanced ESC™ Bonding Technology</strong></h5></li></ul><p>At high temperature ranges, the stability of standard GC columns deteriorates, resulting in increased bleed. Zebron’s Engineered Self Cross-linking™ (ESC) bonding technology reinforces the stationary phase for enhanced column durability and extremely low bleed levels at high temperatures. <strong>The result:</strong> Inferno columns with the flexibility to perform for high temp oven ramps and bakeouts.</p><ul><li><strong>High Temperature Polyimide Coating</strong></li></ul><p>Standard polyimide resin pyrolyzes at temperatures above 360 °C, making the tubing unstable. Zebron Inferno columns use a temperature resistant polyimide resin that shows minimal thermal degradation, even at temperatures up to 430 °C*. This means longer column lifetime at elevated temperatures.</p><p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Phenomenex_Zebron_Inferno_GC_Columns_How_it_works_d2d5658adc.jpg" alt="Phenomenex: Zebron Inferno GC Columns - How it works" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Phenomenex_Zebron_Inferno_GC_Columns_How_it_works_d2d5658adc.jpg 245w," sizes="100vw" width="978" height="564"></p><h3><strong>Features of Zebron Inferno GC Columns</strong></h3><h4><strong>Extremely Low Bleed for Rugged Performance</strong></h4><ul><li>Longer column lifetime</li><li>Better reproducibility</li><li>Maximum sensitivity</li><li>More accurate quantitation</li></ul><h4><strong>Increased Column Lifetime with Enhanced Durability</strong></h4><ul><li>Less instrument downtime</li><li>More productivity</li><li>Lower laboratory costs</li></ul><h5><strong>Standard GC Columns Cannot Withstand High Temperature</strong></h5><p>After prolonged exposure to temperatures above 360 °C, most traditional GC columns become brittle and inflexible, often spontaneously breaking in the middle of a run. Work is stopped in order to change out the column and perform system maintenance. Unlike these fragile columns, ZebronTM InfernoTM columns have a thermally resistant polyimide coating for longer column lifetime at temperatures up to 430 °C. As a result, you get less instrument downtime, and higher productivity.</p><h4><strong>Greater Performance for High Boiling Compounds</strong></h4><ul><li>Better peak shape</li><li>Improved separation</li><li>More analytes detected</li></ul><p>Zebron™ Inferno™ columns have the inertness and temperature stability needed to separate high molecular weight compounds. These high boilers require a thermally rugged column with low bleed levels. Inferno columns provide optimal separation of these analytes.</p>
