higher quality results than ever before. You simply cannot afford interferences or reduced sensitivity caused by column bleed or activity.

1 Agilent J&W GC Column Portfolio For Environmental Applications Reliably measure trace-level contaminants and meet regulatory requirements with confidence From testing semi-volatile contaminants in drinking water to quantifying waterborne pollutants analyzing increasingly small quantities of active solutes must be done more reliably, more efficiently, and with higher quality results than ever before. You simply cannot afford interferences or reduced sensitivity caused by column bleed or activity. For starters, having to redo a run or verify suspect analytes wastes valuable resources, hinders productivity, and hurts your bottom line. Even worse, unreliable results could have catastrophic implications in terms of environmental safety.

2 Agilent s J&W GC column portfolio was specifically designed and application tested to help you achieve the lowest possible detection limits for difficult analytes Backed by 0 years of GC column innovation and applications expertise, Agilent J&W GC columns deliver low column bleed and low column activity for your sensitive, trace-level applications regardless of detector type. So you can cut through the noise and stop worrying about peak tailing for active compounds. Agilent J&W Ultra Inert GC columns Perform consistent trace-level analysis of pesticides, phenols, and other active compounds By itself, low column bleed increases the signal-to-noise ratio; however, your results will be flawed if any analyte is adsorbed by active sites on the column. Similarly, if a well-deactivated column has a high bleed rate, some of the analyte-generated signal could be smothered by the bleed signal. Again, your results will be flawed. Ultra Inert GC Capillary columns give you both low bleed and low activity with: The industry s highest degree of column inertness for sharper peaks, better signal-to-noise ratios, and longer column life The lowest column bleed in the business for increased detector sensitivity, faster baseline stabilization, and reduced instrument downtime Minimal compound adsorption for more accurate quantification Superior column-to-column consistency for improved productivity and reliable, reproducible results In addition, all Ultra Inert GC columns are individually tested against Agilent s exclusive Ultra Inert test probe mixture, so you know they can meet the inertness demands of today s environmental applications. Agilent J&W High Efficiency Capillary GC columns Decrease your run times by 0% or more, without compromising resolution Now it is possible to achieve high efficiency, high throughput, and high resolution without the high costs. High Efficiency Capillary GC columns can reduce your sample run time by 0% or more (compared to conventional GC), so you can get the reliable results you need using the resources you have. They are ideal for applications that require faster run times, and offer: The flexibility to choose between helium and hydrogen carrier gases. You can stay with a helium carrier if you wish to simplify method development, or switch to a hydrogen carrier if faster analysis is desired The ability to separate samples using less carrier gas, which can lead to longer intervals between cylinder changes, increased uptime, and a lower cost per sample As an added benefit, High Efficiency Capillary GC columns are compatible with all standard-pressure capillary GC and GC/MS instruments without expensive high-pressure modifications.

3 Agilent J&W DB-EUPAH columns Be certain that you are conforming to stringent European (EU) regulatory requirements DB-EUPAH GC columns are application designed, optimized, and tested for analyzing + EU-regulated priority PAHs. Engineered and manufactured to the industry s tightest QC specifications for column bleed, inertness, sensitivity, and efficiency, DB-EUPAH GC columns deliver: Optimal performance for all + EU-regulated priority PAHs Baseline resolution for difficult-to-separate critical isomer pairs Accurate analysis of high-boiling PAHs, such as dibenzopyrene isomers Exceptional thermal stability, low column bleed at elevated temperatures, and consistent column inertness Every DB-EUPAH GC column is also individually tested with a two-part, application-specific QC procedure including a test probe mixture that incorporates EU regulatory methods. Application-specific columns Tailored to individual methods and classes of compounds To supplement our standard GC column families, Agilent offers a wide selection of GC columns that have been designed, manufactured, and tested for particular samples and applications. Many of these columns have also been written into regulatory methods, making it easier for your lab to meet compliance requirements. Here are some examples of our most popular columns for environmental applications Analyte Semi-volatiles CLP Pesticides (dual column configuration) Column DB-ms Ultra Inert HP-ms Ultra Inert DB-ms HP-ms DB-.

7 PAHs Agilent J&W DB-EUPAH GC columns clearly surpass the competition in detecting dangerous PAHs Performance Comparison for + EU-Regulated Priority PAHs In this chromatogram, all + EU-regulated priority PAHs are well resolved with the DB-EUPAH column. Challenging Benzo[b,k,j] fluoranthene isomers are baseline resolved, allowing accurate quantitation of each isomer. Baseline resolution is also achieved for three critical pairs: benz[a]anthracene and cyclopenta[c,d]pyrene, cyclopenta[c,d]pyrene and chrysene, and indeno[,,3-cd]pyrene and dibenzo[a,h]anthracene. Agilent J&W DB-EUPAH 0 m x 0.8 mm, 0. µm Abundance Abundance Rs. Rs. 3 Rs. Rs. 8 Rs Time EU_PAHs Here, the Restek Rxi- column shows significantly higher bleed than the DB-EUPAH column, even at 30 C. As a result, the signal-to-noise ratios are less than half of those achieved by the DB-EUPAH columns. The Rxi- column s excess bleed at higher temperatures makes trace-level detection difficult and unreliable for the four late-eluting dibenzopyrene isomers. With its higher upper temperature limit, superior thermal stability and greater column inertness, the Agilent J&W DB-EUPAH column improves peak shape and sensitivity. This translates to consistently lower detection limits a must for analyzing EU-priority PAHs. Rxi- 0 m x 0.8 mm, 0.8 µm Time Analyte S/N ratio 3. Dibenzo[a,l]pyrene.8. Dibenzo[a,e]pyrene..
