Overview
Upgrade to Zebron from any high cyanopropyl phase:
Accelerating FAME Testing
Designed to move beyond the conventional to the exceptional , Zebron GC columns come to life through a coupling of innovative spirit and technical excellence. As part of the Zebron Unlimited series of columns, Zebron ZB FAME offers unparalleled performance through the power of targeted selectivity when analyzing fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs)
Optimized High-Cyano Polarity
FAME separations require the use of high polarity columns for adequate resolution of cis/trans isomers. Zebron™ ZB-FAME is an optimized high-cyanopropyl (G48) chemistry that provides the polarity that you need, while remaining compatible with AOAC, OCS, and IOC regulatory methods.

Baseline Separation of Common Isomers
Food and dietary standards require separation of cis/trans fatty acids. Zebron™ ZB-FAME is able to separate from C4 to C24 with resolution of specific cis/trans fatty acids.

Separate Detailed C18 Compounds
Due to regulatory guidelines around trans fat content in food, detailed analysis of specific FAMEs isomers is commonly performed. The below methods demonstrate this testing using a 60 meter Zebron™ ZB-FAME column.

Twice The Runs, Half The Time
37 FAMEs In A Short 11 Minute Run
Traditionally, cis/trans FAME separations require the use of long (100 meters or more) columns and can run up to 60 minutes, resulting in a bottleneck to higher productivity. Zebron™ ZB-FAME provides targeted selectivity that allows for reduced column length – run times as short as 11 minutes without compromising your results!
