Description
Test mixture for OPTIMA is a ready-to-use chromatography reference solution prepared in n-pentane and intended for performance evaluation of MN OPTIMA capillary GC columns. This 1 mL pack offers a compact standard for routine column checks, system suitability work and method verification in analytical laboratories. The mixture is aligned with OPTIMA phases and is available from manufacturer Macherey-Nagel within its chromatography accessory range. Shipping is simplified because the pack is ADR/IATA exempt under the de minimis quantity provision, which suits small-volume laboratory standards. Net weight is 0,02 kg, so the unit is easy to store and handle at the bench. Chromatographers apply such test mixtures to monitor retention behaviour, peak shape and overall column condition during QC and service routines. The product carries the signal word Danger together with flammable and health-related hazard statements typical of n-pentane solutions; standard laboratory controls for volatile organic solvents apply. It supports consistent quality-assurance workflows around OPTIMA column systems in gas chromatography.

Questions about Test mixture for OPTIMA
What is this article?
Test mixture for OPTIMA 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.
Which category should I open next?
