Description
OPTIMA 1 is a GC capillary column with an inner diameter of 0,53 mm, a film thickness of 1,00 µm and a length of 15 m. It is intended for gas chromatographic separations in analytical laboratories that require a defined column geometry for routine and method-development work. The single-piece pack supports straightforward installation on standard GC instruments used in chemical, environmental, pharmaceutical and industrial quality-control settings. Dimensioned for controlled analyte–stationary-phase interaction during isothermal or temperature-programmed runs, this capillary column helps laboratories maintain consistent chromatographic conditions across sample sequences. The 15 m length suits methods that balance analysis time with adequate separation path. Offered by manufacturer Macherey-Nagel as part of the OPTIMA 1 range, the column is supplied ready for professional laboratory use. Clear dimensional specifications—0,53 mm ID and 1,00 µm film—facilitate method transfer, instrument configuration and inventory identification. Suitable for research and routine GC workflows, the unit integrates into existing capillary GC setups without altering core instrument architecture.

Questions about OPTIMA 1, 0.53 mm ID, 1.00 µm, 15 m
What is this article?
OPTIMA 1, 0.53 mm ID, 1.00 µm, 15 m is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Macherey-Nagel for laboratory use. It sits in GC capillary columns, inside GC columns & accessories, in Chromatography equipment.
A GC capillary column is specified by the phase, the length, the internal diameter and the film thickness. A thicker film retains longer and takes a higher load. A narrow bore gives sharper peaks and needs a cleaner sample. The maximum temperature of the phase is a hard limit.
A GC capillary column is a long open tube with a stationary phase coated on the wall. The sample is a vapour, carried by gas. The phase, the film thickness, the length and the internal diameter decide which compounds separate and how long it takes. A liner is the glass sleeve in the injector. It is a consumable: it collects the non-volatile dirt. The septum and the syringe are the other parts that leak or shed. Compound identity sits on PubChem under IUPAC names.
