Need fast, flexible chromatography?
Chromosorb, inert column-packing aggregate, is a specially treated grade of J-M Celite*, the diatomaceous silica that was used in earliest gas chromatography studies.
You always get a good "picture" with Johns-Manville Chromosorb A s an aggregate in gas-liquid partition chromatography, J - M Chromosorb® gives high partitioning effect with maximum number of theoretical plates. Good resolution is obtained because it is chemically inert and won't adsorb components being passed through. You get uniform results, optimum reproducibility, a n d good flow of carrier gas without excessive pressure drop. C h r o m o s o r b combines o p t i m u m surface area with high uniformity. For reduction of fines, all grades are water-screened to close tolerances.
Packing is easy. I t s physical stability and non-adsorption let you re-use the same column packing again a n d again. For further information, contact t h e dealer nearest you. *Celite is Johns-ManvilJe's registered trade mark for its diatomaceous silica products.
