Description
OPTIMA 5 is a GC capillary column with 0,53 mm internal diameter, 2,00 µm film thickness and 50 m length for gas chromatographic separations. This wide-bore capillary format supports higher sample capacity and straightforward sample introduction in routine and method-development work. Supplied as one column per pack, it is intended for laboratories performing environmental, food, pharmaceutical or industrial GC analyses that require a robust OPTIMA 5 stationary-phase geometry. The column configuration from manufacturer Macherey-Nagel combines a 0,53 mm ID with a relatively thick 2,00 µm film, which is useful when greater sample loading or improved detectability of trace components is needed. At 50 m, the length offers a practical balance between separation power and analysis time on standard GC instruments. Analysts can deploy this capillary column for general-purpose screening, quality control and established GC methods where consistent dimensional specifications are essential. The single-piece packaging simplifies inventory handling and instrument setup in busy chromatography laboratories.

Questions about OPTIMA 5, 0.53 mm ID, 2.00 µm, 50 m
What is this article?
OPTIMA 5, 0.53 mm ID, 2.00 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.
