Description
OPTIMA 1 is a gas chromatography capillary column with an inner diameter of 0,20 mm, a film thickness of 0,50 µm and a column length of 50 m. This capillary column is intended for GC separation work in analytical laboratories and is supplied as a single-piece pack. The defined internal diameter of 0,20 mm together with the 0,50 µm film thickness along the 50 m length gives clear dimensional parameters for instrument setup and method documentation. Available from manufacturer Macherey-Nagel, the OPTIMA 1 column fits standard capillary GC workflows where this phase designation and geometry are specified. Laboratories select capillary columns of this type for routine and research gas chromatography when matching column dimensions to existing methods is essential. The 50 m length supports applications that benefit from extended chromatographic path length, while the narrow 0,20 mm bore is suited to capillary GC systems. Each unit comprises one capillary column, packed for laboratory use. Film thickness, internal diameter and length are stated explicitly to facilitate comparison with other OPTIMA series columns and to support reproducible installation across GC platforms.
This article is part of GC capillary columns, in GC columns & accessories.

Questions about OPTIMA 1, 0.20 mm ID, 0.50 µm, 50 m
What is this article?
OPTIMA 1, 0.20 mm ID, 0.50 µm, 50 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.
