Phase
Modified Trifluoropropyl-methylpolysiloxane
Advantages
VB-Fluoro capillary columns provide unique selectivity due to fluorine’s high affinity to analyte lone pair electrons. This is coupled with thermal stability similar to low-polarity phases such as VB-1 and VB-5 columns.
Low bleed characteristics make VB-Fluoro columns well suited for MS and ECD applications. High thermal stability means they can be used as a complementary column for most high-temperature applications, which commonly use low-polarity stationary phases.
