Description
OPTIMA 1 is a GC capillary column with 0,25 mm internal diameter, 0,50 µm film thickness and 50 m length, designed for gas chromatographic separations in analytical laboratories. This non-polar phase column supports routine and method-development work where reproducible retention behaviour and stable film performance are required across typical GC temperature programmes. Supplied as a single piece, it fits standard capillary GC instrument configurations used for volatile and semi-volatile analytes. The OPTIMA 1 geometry—narrow bore with a moderate film—offers a practical balance of efficiency and sample capacity for many laboratory workflows. Manufactured by Macherey-Nagel, the column is intended for professional chromatography setups in research, quality control and routine analysis. Dimensions and packing correspond to the stated capillary format, enabling straightforward installation and method transfer. Choose this 50 m OPTIMA 1 column when a defined 0,25 mm ID and 0,50 µm film are specified for your GC application portfolio.
This article is part of GC capillary columns, in GC columns & accessories.

Questions about OPTIMA 1, 0.25 mm ID, 0.50 µm, 50 m
What is this article?
OPTIMA 1, 0.25 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.
