CP-Sil 5 CB columns
The natural gas components, mostly hydrocarbons, separate in the same order on the non-polar
and medium-polar CP-Sil CB columns. Nitrogen, methane, carbon dioxide, and ethane are not
separated on these columns. They produce a composite peak. For separation of these
components, consider a PoraPLOT U or HayeSep A column.
