Before you even put your lab coat on, you have more work waiting for you than you can handle. Your instrument needs to run, and it needs to run now. But it is not enough to simply go fast\u2014you need to get the right results the first time and save money in the process. Samples don&#8217;t stop coming in: top-quality data and products can&#8217;t stop going out. In short, it is imperative you have a gas chromatography column that produces the data you need, when you need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We understand what you&#8217;re going through. In fact, many of our in-house chromatography experts were once on the front lines like you, and that&#8217;s ultimately why we do what we do. Restek developed the Rxi family of fused silica columns to help you solve the challenges you face in your lab on a daily basis. Let us worry about column inertness, stability and reproducibility, bleed, and peak shape. Take advantage of Restek Rxi columns to get your work done right and get it done quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rxi Columns: Built for Your Continued Success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We know that as a customer, it is incredibly important to you that your suppliers are honest when they make a claim. As fellow scientists, it is also very important to us that we are honest in order to maintain our credibility and adhere to our principles. That is why Restek has complete control of our Rxi column production stream\u2014to ensure that you will receive a top-quality product that performs the way we promised it would, every time. As a result, Rxi columns come with an unbeatable guarantee: Restek Pure Satisfaction<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fused Silica:<\/strong> It is absolutely critical that we ensure adequate supply and utmost quality of our raw materials, and for most Rxi columns, that starts with the foundation of this exemplary product line: fused silica. We draw our own fused silica tubing to exacting specifications, and during the drawing process, we apply our own polyimide resin. By applying multiple layers of resin, we improve stability at higher temperatures and widen the application range of the fused silica tubing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Deactivation:<\/strong> Once a batch of fused silica tubing is drawn, it must then be deactivated before it is worthy of becoming an Rxi column. Our surface deactivation technology and proprietary processes effectively shield silanols to ensure comprehensive inertness for polar compounds as well as acids and bases, providing symmetric peaks for higher sensitivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Phase Chemistry:<\/strong> In addition to producing our own raw materials, we also develop our own proprietary stationary phases, creating optimized polymers with the enhanced selectivities you need for the most challenging separations. Each Rxi phase is cross-linked to the deactivated fused silica tubing, creating a layer with strong mechanical characteristics, and resulting in a long-lasting and rugged final product. This unique bonding technology ensures low bleed for higher sensitivity and reproducible retention times. From the widely used Rxi-5Sil MS to the specialty Rxi-PAH, our Rxi phases are developed and applied to your finished product in our own facility to better control quality and address your specific needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Quality Control:<\/strong> All Rxi columns are guaranteed to exhibit reliable column-to-column reproducibility and low bleed because we individually test every column for inertness, selectivity, film thickness, efficiency, and bleed\u2014measuring the results against strict QC specifications. Rxi columns are never batch tested. The critical performance values, including bleed, that we obtain with our tests are listed on the chromatographic test report included with your Rxi column. Every Rxi column that leaves our facility has been proven to meet or exceed the most stringent requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Should You Switch to Rxi Columns?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply put, Rxi columns are built to be the best. But what does &#8220;best&#8221; mean? For the overworked analyst with an ever-shrinking budget, the best GC column is the one that provides accurate data, the right results fast, and maximized instrument uptime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ACCURATE DATA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Without accurate data, nothing else matters. Groundbreaking Rxi 3-in-1 technology unifies outstanding inertness, low bleed, and high reproducibility into a single high-performance column line that gives you the foundational low-level accuracy you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Outstanding Inertness<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Our 3-in-1 technology produces such inert columns that we named them <strong>R<\/strong>estek e<strong>X<\/strong>treme <strong>I<\/strong>nertness (Rxi). This extreme inertness improves signal-to-noise ratios and, therefore, your ability to consistently identify and quantify compounds in real-world samples. Inertness is especially important for the ever-lower detection limits required by testing regulations because many acidic, basic, and polar compounds tail significantly if your column has active sites (Figure 1). The remarkable inertness of Rxi technology solves this problem and allows a wide range of compounds to be analyzed with high sensitivity, often on a single column!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-custom-chromatogram-article-top\"><div class=\"chromatogram-article-placeholder\"><div class=\"figure-heading\"><strong>Figure 1:<\/strong>\u00a0Compared to conventional GC columns, Rxi columns show excellent inertness and produce good peak shapes for challenging compounds.<\/div><div class='chromatogram-article-inner-full'><div class=\"chromatogram-article-inner\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"618\" src=\"https:\/\/discover.restek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/figure-article-GNBR1843A-04-1024x618.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21706\" title=\"-\" srcset=\"https:\/\/discover.restek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/figure-article-GNBR1843A-04-1024x618.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/discover.restek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/figure-article-GNBR1843A-04-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/discover.restek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/figure-article-GNBR1843A-04-768x463.jpg 768w, https:\/\/discover.restek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/figure-article-GNBR1843A-04-1536x927.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/discover.restek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/figure-article-GNBR1843A-04.jpg 1720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Low Bleed<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Rxi columns are more stable than other manufacturers&#8217; columns, so they generate less bleed (Figure 2) and reduce background to further improve signal-to-noise ratios, enhance sensitivity, and lower detection limits. These qualities make low-bleed Rxi columns the perfect choice for trace-level analyses. In addition, decreased contamination from bleed makes them ideal for sensitive detection systems like mass spectrometry (MS), where you will also benefit from better matches to mass spectral libraries.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-custom-chromatogram-article-top\"><div class=\"chromatogram-article-placeholder\"><div class=\"figure-heading\"><strong>Figure 2:<\/strong>\u00a0Rxi columns have the lowest bleed among major brands of columns.<\/div><div class='chromatogram-article-inner-full'><div class=\"chromatogram-article-inner\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-custom-chromatogram-article\"><div class=\"wp-block-custom-chromatogram-article\"><div class=\"chromatogram-image wide-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ez.restek.com\/images\/cgram\/gc_ev00822.png\" alt=\"Rxi-5ms columns have the lowest bleed among all major brands of columns.\" title=\"-\"><\/div><p class=\"article-id\" style=\"text-align:center\"> GC_EV00822<\/p><div class=\"chromatogram-conditions\"><h4>Conditions<\/h4><div class=\"conditions-container container-fluid\"><div class=\"row\"><table class=\"conditions col-lg-6 col-12\"><tr><th class=\"conditions_header\" scope=\"row\">Column<\/th><td>Rxi-5ms, 30 m, 0.25 mm ID, 0.25 \u00b5m (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.restek.com\/p\/13423?utm_source=chromatograms&amp;utm_medium=link&amp;utm_campaign=GC_EV00822\" rel=\"noopener\">cat.# 13423<\/a>)<\/td><\/tr><tr class=\"cgram_header_row\"><th class=\"conditions_header\" scope=\"row\">Standard\/Sample<\/th><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><th class=\"sub conditions_header\" scope=\"row\">Conc.:<\/th><td>  1 ng tridecane on-column<\/td><\/tr><tr class=\"cgram_header_row\"><th class=\"conditions_header\" scope=\"row\">Injection<\/th><td>split<\/td><\/tr><tr class=\"cgram_header_row\"><th class=\"conditions_header\" scope=\"row\" colspan=\"2\">Oven<\/td><\/tr><tr><th class=\"sub conditions_header\" scope=\"row\">Oven Temp.:<\/th><td>350 &#176;C<\/td><\/tr><tr class=\"cgram_header_row\"><th class=\"conditions_header\" scope=\"row\">Carrier Gas<\/th><td>H<sub>2<\/sub><\/td><\/tr><\/table><table class=\"conditions col-lg-6 col-12\"><tr><th class=\"conditions_header\" scope=\"row\">Detector<\/th><td>FID<\/td><\/tr><tr class=\"cgram_header_row\"><th class=\"conditions_header\" scope=\"row\">Notes<\/th><td>Comparison of 30 m x 0.25 mm ID, 0.25 \u03bcm columns at 330 \u00b0C through 350 \u00b0C.<br \/><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"chromatogram-related-skus\"><h4>Related SKUs<\/h4><ul><li>13423<\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"chromatogram-related-searches\"><h4>Related Searches<\/h4><ul><li>bleed<\/li><li>rxi<\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"chromatogram-pdf-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ez.restek.com\/images\/cgram\/gc_ev00822.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"18\" height=\"18\" viewBox=\"0 0 18 18\"><g data-name=\"Group 2996\"><path data-name=\"Rectangle 1246\" d=\"M0 0h18v18H0z\" style=\"fill: none;\"><\/path><\/g><g data-name=\"Group 2997\"><path data-name=\"Path 729\" d=\"M13.412 11.4v2.017H5.345V11.4H4v2.017a1.349 1.349 0 0 0 1.345 1.345h8.068a1.349 1.349 0 0 0 1.345-1.345V11.4zm-.672-2.694-.948-.948-1.741 1.735V4H8.706v5.493L6.965 7.758l-.948.948 3.361 3.361z\" transform=\"translate(-.437 -.414)\" style=\"fill: rgb(13, 123, 196);\"><\/path><\/g><\/svg>Download PDF<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>High Reproducibility<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Unpredictable retention times and shifting peaks can be frustrating at best and bring your work to a dead stop at worst.

Outstanding inertness generates consistent peak shapes and retention times, allowing you to accurately quantitate target analytes\u2014even at low concentrations. High reproducibility helps you generate method-compliant data, so your clients get the same fast, accurate results you do. Thermal stability with low column bleed lets you run your instrument at higher oven temperatures, reducing analysis times and increasing sample throughput. And the efficiency of an Rxi column generates sharp, narrow peaks, so target analytes are still separated at high temperatures. With these combined features, you can reduce analysis times without sacrificing data quality. Use Rxi columns to increase sample throughput and laboratory productivity with fast, accurate analyses.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-custom-chromatogram-article-top\"><div class=\"chromatogram-article-placeholder\"><div class=\"figure-heading\"><strong>Figure 4:<\/strong>\u00a0Higher efficiency (i.e., more plates per meter) means better separations on an Rxi column.<\/div><div class='chromatogram-article-inner-full'><div class=\"chromatogram-article-inner\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"311\" src=\"https:\/\/discover.restek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/figure-article-GNBR1843A-02-1024x311.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21694\" title=\"-\" srcset=\"https:\/\/discover.restek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/figure-article-GNBR1843A-02-1024x311.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/discover.restek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/figure-article-GNBR1843A-02-300x91.jpg 300w, https:\/\/discover.restek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/figure-article-GNBR1843A-02-768x233.jpg 768w, https:\/\/discover.restek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/figure-article-GNBR1843A-02-1536x466.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/discover.restek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/figure-article-GNBR1843A-02.jpg 1720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MAXIMIZED INSTRUMENT UPTIME<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We developed Rxi columns with robustness in mind. Restek&#8217;s rugged polymers are cross-bonded and anchored to an extremely inert deactivation surface, resulting in a column that can take whatever abuse you throw at it. This rugged, inert design helps to reduce column maintenance, column replacement, instrument recalibration, and the potential need for method revalidation compared to other columns. Rxi columns are manufactured for low column bleed\u2014even at high GC oven temperatures\u2014to shorten post-installation conditioning time and get your instrument up and running faster. All of these characteristics help minimize the need for maintenance, reduce your downtime, and raise the productivity of your instrument.&nbsp;Produce better-quality data, spend less, and run more samples with Rxi columns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#e5f7fa\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Best GC Column for Your Next Method is an Rxi Column<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing the right stationary phase can make all the difference for the success of your analysis.
