New Application Notes
Restek Accelerated LC & LC ‐MS Analyses of Class Specific Compounds with the New Restek
Raptor™ Biphenyl LC Column
With Raptor™ LC columns, Restek chemists have combined the speed of SPP with the resolution of highly selective USLC® technology. This new species of chromatography column allows you to more easily achieve peak separation and faster analysis times without expensive UHPLC instrumentation.

Accurately Determine Mineral Oil Hydrocarbons in Food and Packaging
Mineral Oil Hydrocarbons (MOHs) can be hard to fully characterise as they include both aliphatic and aromatic components.
MOHs may damage the liver, heart valves, and lymph nodes. The structure of some mineral oil hydrocarbons resembles that of PAHs, indicating they may also be carcinogenic/mutagenic. Restek offers columns and standards for the complete characterisation of MOHs, both aliphatic and aromatic. Click here to download. Literature Code: RK162
