Metal Packed GC Column (fits Agilent, Configuration "A")

The carrier gas percolates through the porous bed in packed columns. In a packed column, separation is achieved by moving the solutes apart. Packed columns are made up of mainly two materials; stainless steel and Pyrex glass. Metal packed columns are more suitable for long and high carrier gas flow rates to tolerate the elevated pressures. Chromosorb P is a diatomite support to any stationary phase. Chromosorb P (AW) gives the best separation of volatile fatty acids consistent with the lowest temperatures.
