Rezin: An Exceptionally Clean Resin for SVOC Analysis
Author(s)Restek Corporation
Restek’s new Rezin certified clean SDVB resin is an exceptionally clean SDVB resin for semi-volatile organic compound (SVOC) sampling. Specifically developed for use straight from the bottle, many applications will not require any further cleaning, eliminating the need for labs to perform this costly, time-consuming step.
A new proprietary cleaning method—designed by Restek’s expert chemists—has produced a resin with exceptionally low background levels of contaminants, including PAHs, pesticides, PCBs, dioxins, and PFAS. Rezin adsorbent is below the allowable residual PAH levels in EPA method TO-13 and is certified to show it surpasses these method requirements.
Additionally, Rezin certified clean SDVB resin (cat.# 27242) is sieved and homogenized prior to packaging, producing a free-flowing resin that can easily be extracted from the container without any messy clumping.
