From: NORMAN guidance on suspect and non-target screening in environmental monitoring
Column type | Examples | Domain | Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Non-polar column | HP-5, DB-5, and Rxi-5 | Non-polar | High column efficiency and reproducibility Wide temperature range | Limited selectivity |
Polar column | DB-WAX, HP-FFAP, and Rtx-1701 | Polar and semi-polar | Good reproducibility | Sensitive to column bleed Lower maximum temperature |
