HEllo,

I bought a GC capillary column type UBWAX302525. I want to inject some sample with water. Will that damage the column?
thanks

The thing is only non-crosslinked stat.phases should not be used with direct water injection, because the stat.pahse may get washed off.You can inject in the UBWAX some sample with water.
If the water is not pH neutral and contains any mineral, acid, base or non-volatile material the column performance can degrade with a speed related to the amount of the materials...
