FAQ

Do I need to passivate or condition my inert column?

23 Sep 2025

No. Restek’s inert LC columns can be considered permanently passivated due to the inert layer that separates the liquid in the flow path from the column’s stainless-steel surfaces. Minimal equilibration of the column to the mobile phase conditions should be all that is needed.
