The UltiMetal Plus Guard Column Retention Gap 5m 0.8 mm od 0.53 mm id is engineered for robust protection and enhanced chromatographic performance in gas chromatography applications. This inert, high-durability retention gap is ideal for safeguarding analytical columns by trapping non-volatile contaminants and particulates, significantly prolonging column life and preserving data integrity. Its deactivated UltiMetal Plus surface minimizes analyte adsorption, ensuring low background activity and high inertness, which is critical for trace analysis and sensitive analyte detection.

This guard column is particularly suited for split, splitless, and on-column injection techniques used in pharmaceuticals, environmental analysis, food safety, petrochemical studies, and other demanding research environments. It can be seamlessly integrated with a wide array of capillary GC columns, especially those with 0.53 mm internal diameter, making it compatible with Agilent’s high-resolution capillary columns and a range of GC systems, including Agilent 6890, 7890, and Intuvo 9000 models.

Researchers use this retention gap to optimize peak shapes and improve sample transfer during large volume injections or complex matrices, reducing sample discrimination and enhancing quantitation accuracy. It is also recommended for use in multidimensional GC and comprehensive GCxGC setups, enhancing both analytical flexibility and reliability.
