Varian FactorFour GC Columns Product Data Sheet
This document describes the Varian FactorFour series of ultra low-bleed cyano-based gas chromatography (GC) columns, specifically models VF-624ms, VF-1701ms, and VF-1301ms. These columns are engineered to provide near-perfect peak shapes for problematic compounds like p,p'-DDT and endrin aldehyde while significantly reducing ghost peaks and unstable baselines compared to competitor products.

Questions answered in these manuals
What is the main advantage of FactorFour columns over competitors?
They offer up to a factor four lower bleed, which eliminates ghost peaks and unstable baselines that mask trace analytes.
Which EPA methods are supported by these columns?
The columns support EPA 500, 600, 8000, U, 525.2, 524.2, and 8260.
What are the benefits of using EZ-Guard with the VF-1701ms column?
EZ-Guard eliminates the risk of leakage and adsorption, which decreases column lifetime and causes asymmetrical peaks, respectively.
