Ordering Information: G-BP

Astec CHIRALDEX G-BP capillary GC columns incorporate a phase consisting of a 2,6-di-O-pentyl-3-butyryl derivative of γ-cyclodextrin. This phase exhibits high selectivity for amino acids, amines, and furans.


Type / Name Derivative γ-Phase MAOT (°C)
Isothermal
MAOT (°C)
Programmed
BP / Butyryl 2,6-di-O-pentyl-3-butyryl G-BP 200 220

Features

  • High selectivity for amino acids, amines, and furans
  • Thermally stable

Mechanism Observations

  • Alkyl chain on analyte contributes to chiral recognition
  • High sample capacity, therefore, primary surface interactions

Size Selectivity

The influence of the inclusion mechanism on selectivity is much reduced and capacities are, therefore, generally higher.
