Macherey-Nagel / Optima

Optima

Optima® is a brand name for GC columns from Macherey-Nagel™. The columns exhibit high inertness and cover a wide range of polarity and applications. Machery-Nagels unique Optima® δ-3 and Optima® δ-6 phases have autoselective polarities - the analytes determine the polarity of the phase.
