Confidence Means Less re-work, Getting it right the First Time

Analyses that require the extra sensitivity of mass spec should be optimized with column technology that rises to the occasion. Forensics analysts need the highest level of confidence in their analytical results, given their frequent work with trace analytes.

Agilent J&W ms columns are designed and manufactured to deliver the highest level of column-to-column reproducibility, and the greatest column performance for a broad range of sample types, ranging from benign to very difficult   with lower column bleed, even at high temperatures.  

The topline on Agilent J&W GC/MS Columns:

  • The highest-and most consistent level of column inertness, resulting in improved analyte detection.  
  • Minimal peak tailing for active compounds.
  • Low column bleed and minimal compound adsorption for more accurate quantification. 
  • Longer column lifetime

Agilent J&W Ultra Inert Columns

For the same selectivity but improved column inertness look to Agilent J&W Ultra Inert Columns

Agilent J&W Ultra Inert columns are individually tested using a worst-case scenario the Uber One Test probe -- which contains compounds with low molecular weights, low boiling points, and no steric shielding of active functional groups so that the probative portion of the test molecule to penetrate and fully interact with the column s stationary phase and surface. 

Continuous Improvement:  Another Agilent J&W Priority that Benefits Our Customers

You are pressed to meet every more rigorous analytical standards, so we employ Six Sigma®, Lean and other quality initiatives to continuously improve our column manufacturing process and help our customers stay on the cutting edge of performance.

To illustrate, here is an example of one critical column performance dimension bleed that has been continuously improved over the last five years.
