Curious about how inert coatings can improve the performance of GC, LC and other analytical instruments?  Stop by our booth # 1036 at [Pittcon in New Orleans](http://pittcon.org/) next week and chat with our coating experts. 

Surface activity and poor inertness from poorly deactivated surfaces can cause peak loss, peak distortion or poor test repeatability.  SilcoNert® 2000 can[ improve GC and LC performance](https://www.silcotek.com/hs-fs/docs/Inlet%20liner%20evaluation%20posterRev.pdf?t=1411069754077&t=1424439375939) 3 ways. 

- Reduce signal loss and improve sensitivity
- Eliminate peak tailing and improve separation
- Stop adsorption of active compounds

SilcoTek® inert coatings help the analyst achieve the lowest levels of detection and inertness for:

- Chlorinated pesticides (EPA 8081)
- Semi-volatile Organics (EPA 8270)
- OP pesticides
- Ammonia NOx and SOx
- Sulfurs

SilcoNert® improves system response by up to 50% [compared to other inert coatings](https://www.silcotek.com/silconert_vs_silonite).

See for yourself!  Check out our sampling video.

SilcoTek® helps to take the pain out of sampling.  Assuring high quality, consistent results.
