GC columns with polyethylene glycol (PEG) stationary phases are commonly used for analysing compounds with polar functional groups. They are well suited for food, flavor, and fragrance applications, as well as industrial chemical analysis in quality control and method development labs. For active and complex polar compounds, flow path activity is of great importance. Downtime associated with troubleshooting questionable analytical data and replacing columns due to poor chromatography reduces lab productivity. Agilent’s innovative inert flow path components help ease the pain of working with active compounds in challenging analyses. A variety of applications and performance comparisons will be presented.

### By viewing this webinar you will learn about...

- inertness and what it means for active analyte analysis in GC
- the impact a truly inert Wax phase can have in a variety of applications
- how to achieve more consistent results with challenging active analytes
- that not all Wax columns are the same
