Typical Applications |
| |
|
|
| GS-OxyPLOT |
High selectivity adsorbent |
High retention for oxygenated hydrocarbons (Methanol retention index +1400). Useful for alcohols, ketones, and ethers in gasoline, diesel, and C1 to C4 hydrocarbon streams. |
| HP-PLOT
Al203 KCl |
Aluminum oxide deactivated with KCl |
Least "polar" Alumina phase. Lowest retention of olefins relative to comparable paraffin. C1 to C8 hydrocarbon isomers. Column of choice for accurate quantitation of dienes, especially propadiene and butadiene from ethylene and propylene streams. |
| GS-Alumina KCl |
Aluminum oxide deactivated with KCl |
Least"polar" of the Alumina columns. Light Carbon analysis |
| HP-PLOT Al203 S |
Aluminum oxide deactivated with
sodium sulfate |
Excellent general use Alumina column for light hydrocarbons: C1 to C8 isomers. Best for resolving acetylene from butane and propylene from isobutane. |
| GS-Alumina |
Aluminum oxide with proprietary deactivation |
Most "polar" of the Alumina columns. Highest retention of olefins relative to comparable paraffin. Excellent general use Alumina column for light hydrocarbons: C1 to C8 isomers. Best for resolving cyclopropane from propylene. Good stability and recovery from water saturation. |
| HP-PLOT Al203 M |
Aluminum oxide with proprietary deactivation |
Most "polar" of the Alumina columns. Highest retention of olefins relative to comparable paraffin. Excellent general use Alumina column for light hydrocarbons: C1 to C8 isomers. |
| GS-GasPro |
Proprietary, bonded
silica-based |
C1 to C12 hydrocarbons, CO2, trace-level sulfurs, hydride gases, inorganic gases, halocarbons, SF6, oxygen/nitrogen separation at -80°C. |
| GS-CarbonPLOT |
Bonded, monolithic carbon layer |
C1 to C5 hydrocarbons, CO2, air/CO, trace acetylene in ethylene, methane. |
| HP-PLOT Molesieve |
5Å molecular sieve zeolite |
Permanent and noble gases. Thick and thin films available. Thick film column will resolve argon and oxygen at 35°C. |
| HP-PLOT Q |
Polystyrene-divinylbenzene |
C1 to C3 isomers, alkanes to C12, CO2, methane, air/CO, water, oxygenated compounds, sulfur compounds, solvents. |
| GS-Q |
Porous divinylbenzene homopolymer |
Polarity between Porapak-Q and Porapak-N |
| HP-PLOT U |
Divinylbenzene/ethylene |
More polar than HP-PLOT Q and GS-Q. C1 to C7 hydrocarbons, CO2, methane, air/CO, water, glycol dimethacrylate oxygenates, amines, solvents, alcohols, ketones, aldehydes. |
