DB-1701P Column

Agilent DB-1701P GC Columns

The Agilent J&W DB-1701P column is purpose-built for the accurate analysis of organochlorine pesticides and related halogenated compounds. Featuring a low- to mid-polarity stationary phase, this column delivers the enhanced selectivity required to resolve structurally similar pesticides that are difficult to separate on nonpolar phases. DB-1701P is specifically engineered and ECD-tested to ensure minimal pesticide breakdown, low bleed, and reliable performance in highly sensitive detection workflows.

With an operating temperature range of –20 to 260/300 °C, the column provides strong thermal stability for both routine and high-temperature methods. The bonded and crosslinked phase allows full solvent rinseability, improving column lifetime and maintaining consistent retention behavior even after exposure to challenging sample matrices.

Every DB-1701P column is manufactured under Agilent’s rigorous QC standards and individually tested using demanding pesticide analytes. This ensures predictable inertness, stable baselines, and high precision—supporting laboratories performing regulatory pesticide screening, confirmation, and trace-level quantitation. As an authorized distributor of Agilent GC columns, Chrom Tech provides DB-1701P as a reliable, application-driven solution for halogenated pesticide analysis.
Key Definitions ▸
DB-1701P
A low- to mid-polarity GC column engineered for the separation of organochlorine and other halogenated pesticides. DB-1701P is optimized for Electron Capture Detection (ECD) with minimized breakdown and extremely low bleed.
ECD Testing
A quality control process in which columns are evaluated for performance with Electron Capture Detection. ECD testing ensures low bleed and reduced breakdown of sensitive, electronegative pesticide analytes.
Bonded and Crosslinked Phase
A stationary phase that is chemically bonded and crosslinked to the column surface, enabling solvent rinseability and improved robustness. This construction supports stable retention behavior and longer column lifetime when analyzing complex sample matrices.
Frequently Asked Questions ▸
Why is DB-1701P preferred for organochlorine pesticide analysis?
DB-1701P provides enhanced selectivity and ultra-low bleed, making it ideal for Electron Capture Detection (ECD) workflows used to analyze organochlorine pesticides. Its phase chemistry minimizes breakdown and improves resolution for closely related halogenated compounds.
Can DB-1701P be used with MS detection?
Yes. Although optimized for ECD, DB-1701P also performs well with Mass Spectrometry (MS) due to its low bleed characteristics, thermal stability, and ability to reduce analyte degradation during high-sensitivity workflows.
What advantages come from the bonded and crosslinked construction of DB-1701P?
The bonded and crosslinked phase allows solvent rinsing, greater mechanical stability, and longer operational lifetime. This design ensures consistent retention times and dependable accuracy when analyzing challenging pesticide matrices.
