GC Products

Thermo Scientific TRACE™ GC Columns offer high
temperature stability and exhibit low bleed and long lifetimes. From general purpose non-polar to polar columns, many of which are MS-compatible, TRACE GC columns provide excellent quality and performance, with guaranteed reproducibility. Also within the Thermo Scientific product line are a range of application specific columns and productivity kits.

Biodiesel Columns

BioDiesel is an important component in the development of carbon neutral fuels and specific GC columns within the TRACE range meet the methodology demands for this application area. A combination of columns are offered, to cover the analytical requirements of the BioDiesel methods to determine the methanol (TR-BioDiesel (M)), FAMEs (TR-BioDiesel (F)) and glycerides (TR-BioDiesel (G)).

EPA Method Columns

In addition to the standard range of Thermo Scientific TRACE™ GC columns, we also provide a range of application specific columns, tailored for specific industry methods and applications. These columns have been designed, manufactured and tested to provide specific solutions for chromatographers analyzing samples using these industry test methods and are also incorporated into productivity solution kits in some cases. We currently offer columns specific to EPA methods 524, 525, 527, 8095 and 8270.

TR-FFAP Column for Polar Compounds

The Thermo Scientific TRACE™ TR-FFAP GC Column is a nitroterephthalic acid (TPA) modified polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based phase ideal for the analysis of polar compounds. The TR-FFAP GC Column is highly cross-linked resulting in excellent peak shape and is particularly suited to analysis of underivatized short chain carboxylic acids, free fatty acids and alcohols.
