The column is well suited to this purpose as it contains a highly polar, nonbonded, biscyanopropyl polysiloxane stationary phase housed in a 100 m x 0.25 mm x 0.20 \u00b5m column format. The length and polarity of the column allow it to separate FAMES based on chain length and degree of unsaturation, as well as the positional and geometrical isomerism of double bonds. However, as a consequence of the column\u2019s length and high polarity, even minor variations in the manufacturing process can potentially have detrimental effects on column-to-column reproducibility. Restek has optimized the manufacturing process and implemented a new, application-specific, QC-testing procedure for all new Rt-2560 columns (cat.# 13198) in order to ensure consistent performance for detailed&nbsp;<em>cis\/trans<\/em>&nbsp;FAMEs analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Redesigned Process Produces Consistent Column Performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The optimized manufacturing process for Rt-2560 columns results in highly consistent performance from one column to the next without affecting important features of the original column, such as selectivity, sample loading capacity, stationary phase bleed, and thermal stability. Figure 1 demonstrates the excellent column-to-column reproducibility that is typically observed across different lots of Rt-2560 polymer. In addition, low bleed levels are consistently obtained, even at the upper temperature limit of 250 \u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-custom-chromatogram-article-top\"><div

The test mix used in the new QC test contains both saturated and unsaturated FAMEs that are commonly encountered in fats and oils analysis. Because every column manufactured under the improved process is tested, only high-performance columns suitable for detailed&nbsp;<em>cis\/trans<\/em>&nbsp;FAMEs analysis are certified for sale. Table I lists the components of the test mix and some of the chromatographic performance metrics that are calculated for each. Stationary phase bleed is measured at 250 \u00b0C following elution of the FAMEs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Table I:<\/strong>&nbsp;Application-specific components in the new QC test are used to verify the performance of Rt-2560 columns (cat.# 13198) by measuring critical chromatographic performance metrics.

These indices are measured using the bracketing provided by homologous saturated FAMEs, rather than by&nbsp;<em>n<\/em>-alkanes, in order to avoid potential interfacial adsorption effects on the highly polar stationary phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Efficiency and retention factor measurements are used to verify proper stationary phase deposition and consistent separation performance. Columns with low efficiency will show significantly reduced performance in the speciation of&nbsp;<em>trans<\/em>&nbsp;fat, particularly in the separation of the complex C18:1 region, and in the detailed profiling of unsaturated fatty acids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The baseline resolution of methyl eicosenoate (C20:1-c11) and methyl linolenate (C18:3-c9,c12,c15) is a critical separation required by standard methods, such as AOAC 996.06 and AOCS Ce 1j-07, in order to demonstrate system suitability. Using an optimal column and standard conditions, C18:3-c9, c12, c15 elutes after C20:1-c11 with baseline resolution. If these conditions are met, peaks eluting between C20:0 and C20:1-c11 can be tentatively identified as C18:3 isomers containing at least one&nbsp;<em>trans<\/em>&nbsp;double bond. In Figure 2, the new QC test is analyzed on columns manufactured using the original and the optimized procedures. This comparison demonstrates that equivalent separation characteristics are obtained both before and after process improvement. In addition, Figure 2 shows baseline resolution of C20:1-c11 and C18:3-c9, c12, c15.<\/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>\u00a0Analysis of the FAMEs QC test mix confirms that Rt-2560 columns from before and after the manufacturing process redesign show equivalent separation characteristics.
