Agilent DB-5ms Ultra Inert Column Trace Analysis Seminar Slides
This document is a set of seminar slides from an Agilent Technologies ISCC 2010 Vendor Seminar. It addresses the challenges and needs of modern laboratories regarding trace sample qualification and instrument stability. The text explains that lower detection limits require improved inertness in injection systems, liners, and columns to reduce noise and peak tailing caused by column activity.

Questions answered in these manuals
What is column activity?
Column activity is the loss of detectable analytes to the GC column through non-ideal chemical reactions and interactions.
From: Agilent DB-5ms Ultra Inert Column Trace Analysis Seminar Slides
What are strong probes used for?
Strong probes have active ends available to interact with any active sites on the columns, helping identify column activity.
From: Agilent DB-5ms Ultra Inert Column Trace Analysis Seminar Slides
What specific compounds were used to test the column's performance with basic analytes?
The study analyzed a mixture containing Triethylamine, Pyridine, 4-Methylpyridine, N.N-Dimethylacetamide, 2,4-Dimethylaniline, and Dicyclohexylamine.
From: Agilent J&W DB-5ms Ultra Inert Column Application Note
What is the length of the Agilent J&W DB-5ms Ultra Inert column used in this study?
The column dimensions are 30 m x 0.25 mm x 0.25 um.
From: Agilent J&W DB-5ms Ultra Inert Column Application Note
Which Agilent column is recommended for challenging PBDE analysis?
The document recommends the Agilent J&W DB-5ms Ultra Inert capillary GC column.
From: Agilent J&W DB-5ms Ultra Inert Capillary GC Column PBDE Analysis Application Note
What are the concentration ranges used for BDE calibration?
The study used a range of 0.5 to 250 ng/mL for most BDEs and 2.5 to 1,000 ng/mL for BDE-209.
