Column Selection
Choose from our selection of Restek Siltek®-treated stainless steel MXT® GC columns. MXT columns eliminate GC column breakage at high temperatures; stable up to 450 °C. Exclusive Siltek® treatment produces exceptional inertness and more accurate data.
Columns can be ordered either pre-installed in a Lucidity miniGC Column Holder or uninstalled. In order for a column to be compatible with the Lucidity miniGC it must be wound in a 3.5 inch coil diameter.
