Metal GC Columns

Metal GC columns offer a robust and thermally stable solution for demanding gas chromatography workflows, particularly those requiring elevated operating temperatures. Modern metal gas chromatography columns – including designs incorporating advanced deactivation technologies such as UltiMetal or ProSteel – feature inert stainless-steel surfaces that minimise bleed and improve peak shape. Their exceptional durability makes them ideally suited to high-temperature methods above 400°C, including simulated distillation, where fused silica columns often degrade. Combining mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and extended operational lifetime, metal GC columns provide reliable, high-performance separations for laboratories engaged in fuel characterisation, chemical analysis, and other challenging high-temperature applications.
