USP column listing for GC columns

Feb 27, 2024 | Gas Chromatography
 

This table lists classifications for GC columns set forth by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP). The USP column designations for Gas Chromatography (GC) were devised to standardize the selection and use of chromatography columns in pharmaceutical and related analyses. These designations help ensure that analytical methods used in these industries are consistent, reproducible, and compliant with regulatory requirements.

USP assigns unique designations (like "G1", "G2", etc.) to categorize different types of GC columns with common properties. These designations serve as a reference when developing, validating, or executing analytical methods in compliance with USP monographs and methods.  

GL Sciences InertCap columns are high-performance columns for gas chromatography featuring highly inert phases with ultra-low bleed.
