Description
OPTIMA 17 is a gas chromatography capillary column with an inner diameter of 0,53 mm, a film thickness of 1,00 µm and a length of 15 m. Designed for routine and method-development GC work, this fused-silica capillary format supports efficient separation of medium-polarity analytes under standard temperature-programmed conditions. The 0,53 mm ID wide-bore geometry favours higher sample capacity and robust carrier-gas flow, while the 1,00 µm stationary-phase film provides adequate retention for volatile and semi-volatile compounds. Supplied as a single column from manufacturer Macherey-Nagel, the OPTIMA 17 phase is a well-established choice in analytical laboratories performing environmental, food, flavour and industrial GC analyses. The 15 m length offers shorter run times and lower pressure drop compared with longer columns of the same phase, making it suitable for screening methods, educational setups and applications where rapid throughput is preferred. Each unit is packed as one piece for direct installation in common GC instruments equipped with appropriate fittings for 0,53 mm capillary columns.
This article is part of GC capillary columns, in GC columns & accessories.

Questions about OPTIMA 17, 0.53 mm ID, 1.00 µm, 15 m
What is this article?
OPTIMA 17, 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.
