Fortunately for GCers, there isn\u2019t that much variation in \u201c5 type\u201d columns, but users need to be aware that 5% pendant phenyl and 5% phenyl-as-silphenylene (or arylene) columns have slightly different selectivities. Recently we analyzed 31 pesticides on Rxi-5ms (pendant phenyl) and Rxi-5Sil MS (silphenylene). While the complete chromatograms looked very similar, close inspection revealed differences (see figure).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that arylene phases have polymer backbone modifications to lower bleed. Restek makes it easy to remember which columns have this modification by using \u201cSil\u201d in the name (e.g. Rxi-5Sil MS, Rxi-35Sil MS, and Rxi-624Sil MS). If you decide to change from your \u201cstandard\u201d GC phase to an arylene phase, watch out for slight selectivity differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n        <div class=\"cpb\">\n            <h3 class=\"cpb-heading\">Products Mentioned<\/h3>\n            <hr class=\"cpb-heading-underline\" \/>\n            <div class=\"cpb-list\">\n                                    <div class=\"cpb-item\">\n                        <div class=\"cpb-col cpb-col--left\">\n                            <a class=\"cpb-catalog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.restek.com\/p\/13623\">                                Catalog No. 13623                            <\/a>                        <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"cpb-col cpb-col--middle\">\n                            <div class=\"cpb-title\">Colonne capillaire Rxi-5Sil MS, L 30\u00a0m, DI 0.25 mm, 0.25 \u00b5m<\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"cpb-col cpb-col--right\">\n                                                            <a class=\"cpb-view-btn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.restek.com\/p\/13623\">Voir le produit<\/a>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"cpb-item\">\n                        <div class=\"cpb-col cpb-col--left\">\n                            <a class=\"cpb-catalog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.restek.com\/p\/13423\">                                Catalog No. 13423                            <\/a>                        <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"cpb-col cpb-col--middle\">\n                            <div class=\"cpb-title\">Colonne capillaire Rxi-5ms, L 30\u00a0m, DI 0.25 mm, 0.25 \u00b5m<\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"cpb-col cpb-col--right\">\n                                                            <a class=\"cpb-view-btn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.restek.com\/p\/13423\">Voir le produit<\/a>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        \n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although not obvious even to a careful observer, no zebra has exactly the same stripe pattern.
