Rtx-BAC
Restek Rtx-BAC GC Columns
Restek Rtx-BAC GC columns are specifically engineered for blood alcohol concentration (BAC) testing and
forensic toxicology workflows requiring fast, accurate, and legally defensible ethanol and volatile
analysis. Featuring a proprietary Crossbond stationary phase optimized for light alcohols, acetone,
acetaldehyde, and other volatile compounds found in biological matrices, Rtx-BAC delivers rapid,
high-resolution separations with outstanding reproducibility.
These columns are widely used for law enforcement, forensic laboratories, clinical testing facilities, and workplace or compliance monitoring programs. Rtx-BAC provides excellent resolution of critical pairs such as acetone/ethanol and methanol/acetone—separations essential for correct identification and quantitation in forensic BAC determinations. The optimized polarity profile ensures precise retention behavior even under high-throughput conditions.
Rtx-BAC columns are engineered for rugged performance with strong thermal stability, low bleed, and Restek’s superior deactivation technology that minimizes adsorption of polar and reactive volatiles. This ensures sharp peak shapes, accurate quantitation at trace levels, and reliable performance in both GC-FID and GC-MS workflows. Their exceptional lot-to-lot reproducibility also supports validated and regulated forensic protocols.
As an authorized Restek distributor, Chrom Tech supplies Rtx-BAC columns in commonly used forensic dimensions, supporting labs that require dependable, high-quality GC performance for alcohol and volatile analysis in biological samples.
