Torrance, Calif. (February 19, 2021) – Phenomenex Inc., a global leader in the research and manufacture of advanced technologies for the separation sciences introduces Zebron™ ZB-Dioxin . Zebron ZB-Dioxin joins Phenomenex’s large family of GC unlimited Phase to deliver optimal performance when analyzing regulated 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo- para-dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD) and 2,3,7,8 tetrachlorodibenzo- para-furan(TCDF).
EPA-1613 and EPA-8290 Dioxin methods requires two GC columns, 5% phenyl and 225 GC columns (One for testing and one for confirmation) on two GC-HRMS instruments. The new Zebron ZB-Dixon exceeds EPA Dioxin method requirement by providing enhanced resolution for all Dioxin isomers using one GC column and single HRMS instrument.
The Zebron ZB-Dioxin reduces instrument down time by 50%, improves lab productivity (Single GC HRMS method and provides better sensitivity as well as greater resolution for the analysis of Dioxins
“In addition to its fast analysis, our new ZB-Dioxin GC column is proven to be a single solution to Tetra Dioxins and tetra furans while providing excellent stability at elevated Temperature (300/320°C)” explains Rola El abaji, Product Marketing manager for Phenomenex. ” In addition, we have further improved column lifetime options with integrated column version of the ZB-Dixon Guardian.
Zebron ZB-Dioxin columns were developed to address a customer need for greater resolution of Dioxins in food and environmental samples. The ZB-Dioxin exceeded not only EPA, but customer expectations as well. Andrew Patterson at Eurofin USA reported the below statement after using the product:
“The ZB-Dioxin achieves superior resolution for both 2,3,7,8-TCDD and 2,3,7,8-TCDF while not only maintaining chromatography for the hexes but improving it. This is all performed while reducing the overall runtime over traditional 5ms dioxin columns by as much as 25%. The ZB-Dioxin increases throughput by not only eliminating the need for a second column confirmation, but also by allowing additional samples to be analyzed in each 12-hour analytical sequence”
Phenomenex also offers a range of GC accessories for better GC column and instrument protection for Dioxin analysis, including Zebron Plus liner and Zebron Gas Management
