Restek Rxi-17 GC Columns
Restek Rxi-17 GC columns are mid-polarity, low-bleed columns engineered to deliver highly reliable and
reproducible separations for complex mixtures that contain both polar and nonpolar compounds. Featuring a
50% phenyl, 50% dimethylpolysiloxane stationary phase, Rxi-17 provides strong aromatic and polar
interactions, making it ideal for resolving pesticides, flame retardants, PAHs, PCBs, phthalates,
pharmaceuticals, and diverse environmental contaminants.
The robust mid-polarity selectivity of Rxi-17 enhances separation of structural isomers and compounds with similar boiling points—areas where nonpolar columns often struggle. Its exceptionally low bleed even at elevated temperatures provides cleaner mass spectra, improved sensitivity, and higher signal-to-noise ratios in GC-MS applications. These qualities make Rxi-17 especially valuable for regulated methods and trace-level quantitation in challenging analytical workflows.
Built with Restek’s advanced Rxi® deactivation process, Rxi-17 columns maintain excellent inertness and produce sharp, symmetrical peaks for active or functionalized compounds that commonly tail on less inert phases. Their rugged construction delivers stable retention times, long column lifetimes, and outstanding lot-to-lot reproducibility.
As an authorized distributor of Restek products, Chrom Tech supplies Rxi-17 columns in a variety of dimensions supporting EPA, EN, AOAC, pharmaceutical, and industrial testing methods. For laboratories requiring robust mid-polarity performance with MS-grade low bleed, Rxi-17 provides a highly dependable and versatile solution.
