Zebron Inferno Columns Win In The Lifetime Test
How does the lifetime test work?
All columns were held at 400 °C for 2 hours and then the oven was lowered to 120 °C for pentadecane analysis. The VF-5ht column broke just after 40 hours at 400 °C. The ZB-5HT had the same retention for pentadecane at 100 hours as the DB-5ht column at 40 hours — over 2X the lifetime!
Zebron ZB-5HT Inferno
Note that the VF-5ht column died around 40 hours at 400 °C whereas the Zebron ZB-5HT Inferno column maintained great retention of Pentadecane over 100 hours. Comparative separations may not be representative of all applications.
