2019/2021 Chromatography Consumables Catalog - GC columns and accessories

Significance of Chromatography Consumables

High quality consumables are essential for reliable gas chromatography workflows. From sample introduction devices to end-of-column filtration and column phases, every component influences chromatographic performance, reproducibility and instrument lifetime.

Objectives and Overview

This catalogue presents an integrated set of chromatography consumables covering sample preparation, column hardware, chromatography phases and reagents. It aims to guide selection of filters, syringes, septa, liners, ferrules, connectors, columns and derivatization reagents for diverse applications across biopharmaceutical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, environmental and clinical laboratories.

Methodology and Used Instrumentation

The portfolio spans inline gas filters for carrier gas purification, eVol XR electronic dispensers, GLD Pro leak detectors, GFM Pro flowmeters, Reacti-Therm heating and stirring modules with Reacti-Vap evaporators, plus a full set of sample vials, caps and syringes. Column hardware includes LinerGOLD and SilTite inlet components. Integrations with Thermo Scientific TRACE 1300 Series GC, TriPlus RSH autosampler, ISQ single quadrupole and TSQ triple quadrupole MS platforms ensure connectivity from sample to data.

Main Results and Discussion

The consumables deliver:

• Pure carrier gas via Click-On and Super Clean filters
• Extended syringe lifetimes and inert fluid paths
• Ultra low bleed liners and ferrules for sensitive MS detection
• Modular finger-tight connectors and μ-Unions for leak-free plumbing
• Specialty columns such as TraceGOLD low-bleed phases, TracePLOT porous layers and UltraFast narrow-bore for rapid analysis
• Derivatization reagents including silylating, acylating and alkylating agents for trace analysis of active compounds

Benefits and Practical Applications

Use of this connected consumables portfolio maximizes instrument uptime, maintains sample integrity, minimizes reanalysis and enhances reproducibility. It supports method compliance for regulatory analyses in food safety, environmental monitoring, pharmaceutical QA/QC and clinical research.

Future Trends and Possibilities

Emerging directions include fully automated workflows, integrated instrument networks with real-time monitoring, high-throughput UltraFast chromatography and high resolution accurate mass GC-MS/MS for increased selectivity and quantitative certainty.

Conclusion

This comprehensive range of chromatography consumables forms a cohesive ecosystem that bridges sample to knowledge. By selecting optimal filters, fittings, phases and reagents users achieve robust, reproducible and high-performance separations across diverse analytical fields.
