Multi-layer Glass Infusion™ ensures a thick uniform surface that is consistent throughout the length of the column.

Due to the Glass Infusion, we achieve complete surface cov-erage with our advanced high temperature polymer.

The Glass Infusion process results in a thick and uniform

glass layer that completely covers the internal metal surface

of the column. This uniform glass surface allows for thor-

ough stationary phase coverage which improves efficiency.

Since neutral hydrocarbon test mixes do not detect uneven

glass deposition, we use a test mix of acids, bases and

neutrals to monitor our manufacturing process and ensure

complete glass infusion and stationary phase coverage. As

a result, Zebron ZB-1XT columns achieve high efficiencies

and perform reliably and consistently from run-to-run and

column-to-column.

Individually QC tested to ensure reproducible results

High Variability

Batch testing can lead to different efficien-cies from column-to-column, especially if the phase is unevenly distributed. In the example here, two Restek MXT®-1HT Sim Dist columns have drastically different efficiencies. However, 4 randomly selected Zebron ZB-1XT SimDist columns have very reproducible efficiencies. All columns used in the testing were new and unused.

In addition to employing Glass Infusion™ Technology for consistency, each Zebron

ZB-1XT SimDist column is individually tested to eliminate column-to-column variability.

We Recommend Against Using Batch Tested Columns

The Batch Testing Process—How Others Do It

Restek® and Agilent®’s Actual QC Sheets

15 Meters(Column is QC tested as a

15 meter column)

Columns cut down to

5 meters for sale Packaged Final Product

“This column was originally tested and evaluated as a 15 meter column and cut into 3 x 5 meter columns”

“Test results reflect the performance of a 15 meter column prior to cutdown”

Some metal GC columns for simulated distillation are batch QC tested. This

process introduces the possibility for poor column-to-column reproducibility.

In order for a GC column to be used for high temperature simulated distillation analysis ASTM

D6352, it needs to provide a resolution greater than 2.0 for C50 and C52. In this example, Zebron™

ZB-1XT SimDist columns start with better resolution and maintain it day in and day out.
