Derivatizing Reagents

Regis Technologies has its roots in the manufacture of fine organic chemicals. For more than 60 years, we have been manufacturing high purity reagents under highly controlled manufacturing procedures, and all products meet strict quality control specifications before release.

The formation of chemical derivatives to facilitate meaningful analysis has been a common practice in gas chromatography for many years. Derivatization is primarily performed to modify an analyte’s functional groups to enable chromatographic separation and/or detection. Benefits of derivatization include:

• Increased sample volatility
• Improved selectivity and chromatographic efficiency
• Enhanced detectability
