Thermo Publishes New Comprehensive SPE, HPLC And GC Columns Catalog

Thermo Electron Corporation introduces the 2006-2007 edition of the Chromatography Columns and Consumables Catalog, which consolidates the full breadth of Thermo's chromatography consumables into a single collection spanning across SPE, HPLC and GC. Included is the enhanced line of HyperSep SPE products, the new state-of-the-art Hypersil GOLD HPLC column family, and TRACE capillary GC columns and consumables. The expanded 300+ page catalog is the perfect laboratory resource for product selection, technical reference information and application support in the pharmaceutical, chemical, biochemical, environmental, food and beverage industries and many more.

The new catalog provides comprehensive guidance on the practice of SPE, HPLC and GC techniques along with more than 400 applications to help users make informed column choices. This detailed product selection guide will be available January 2006. To receive the catalog, please visit www.thermo.com/columns to order a copy.

Thermo's HyperSep SPE benefits users by enabling rapid, effective and economical sample preparation. They are available in a range of formats including solid phase extraction columns, multiwellplates and pipette tips.

Based on highly pure silica, Hypersil GOLD columns provide excellent symmetrical peaks, even when analyzing compounds that give notoriously poor peak shape on traditional C18 or L1 chemistries. In addition to the C18 phase, Hypersil GOLD columns are now offered in C8, CN, PFP (pentafluorophenyl) and aQ (polar endcapped C18) phases, as well as in a 1.9 µm particle size in selected chemistries.

TRACE GC columns feature high temperature stability and low phase bleed, achieving high quality and performance. The columns cover a range of polarities from the TR-1 100% dimethyl polysiloxane to the TR-FAME 70% cyanopropyl polysilphenylene-siloxane phases, offering application-focused solutions.
