Description
OPTIMA WAX is a capillary gas chromatography column with an internal diameter of 0,53 mm, a stationary film thickness of 1,00 µm and a length of 25 m. Designed for GC separations that benefit from a polar wax-type phase, it supports routine and method-development work where reproducible retention and stable film performance are required. The wide-bore geometry favours higher sample capacity and straightforward coupling to standard GC inlets, while the defined film thickness helps maintain consistent selectivity across analytical runs. Supplied as a single column unit, this OPTIMA WAX format from manufacturer Macherey-Nagel fits laboratories handling solvents, flavour and fragrance components, or other polar analytes that are typically addressed on polyethylene glycol-type phases. Clear dimensional specification of ID, film and length simplifies column selection, inventory matching and method transfer between instruments. The product belongs to the GC chromatography column category and is intended for professional laboratory use in analytical workflows that demand reliable capillary performance without unnecessary complexity in setup or documentation.

Questions about OPTIMA WAX, 0.53 mm ID, 1.00 µm, 25 m
What is this article?
OPTIMA WAX, 0.53 mm ID, 1.00 µm, 25 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.
