CHIRALDEX PM

Astec Products | Technical Resources  | Chiral Services
Ordering Information: B-PM

Astec CHIRALDEX B-PM and Bonded B-PM capillary GC columns incorporate a phase consisting of a 2,3,6-tri-O-methyl derivative of β-cyclodextrin. This phase exhibits broad chiral selectivity and is good for terpenes and tertiary amines.
