金属填充GC色谱柱（常规配置）

Packed column percolates the carrier gas through the porous bed. In a packed column, separation is achieved by moving the solutes apart. Packed columns are made up of two main materials; stainless steel and Pyrex glass. Metal packed columns are more suitable for long and high carrier gas flow rates to tolerate the elevated pressures. Carbopack B, better known as graphitized carbon black has nonporous, nonpolar and homogeneous surface. This adsorbent is suitable as stationary phase in both packed and capillary columns. Carbopack B cartridges are more efficient than C-18 for extracting phenols.

对于不需要玻璃惰性的低要求应用，应使用经济型的金属柱。该色谱柱具有一般性配置，并可小心将其弯曲以适用于大多数仪器。
