carbonX is a deactivated carbon that is mechanically stable and is designed to remove matrix, pigments and dark colors from analytical samples.

• Does not need toluene
• Reduced GC maintenance, with 4x less liner usage
• Unique selectivity for polars
• Great pigment, lipid remediation
• Mechanically stable up to 1000 psi

carbonX is a mechanically stable material that has been designed for color remediation in your extracts. It is radically different from activated carbon because it does not break up or make your hands black when handling. It is also clean so that combustion byproducts will not dissolve into your extracts after the extraction process. The material can be used in a filter funnel or in a dispersion.

In order to perform the color remediation process, your extract is dissolved first in ethanol, then it is vacuum filtered through the carbonX media, then the rotovap removes the ethanol. You can also use it by filling your butane column with carbonX, improving the color and quality of your the extract on the fly. Finishing is completed in a vacuum oven.
