What Does WCOT Stand For?

WCOT stands for Wall Coated Open Tubular Columns

WCOT, or Wall Coated Open Tubular Columns, refers to a specialized type of chromatography column designed for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). These columns feature a tubular structure with walls coated with a thin layer of stationary phase material, enhancing separation efficiency and resolution. The open tubular design minimizes resistance, allowing for faster analyte flow and improved sensitivity. WCOT columns are particularly effective for gas chromatography and are valued for their capability to analyze complex mixtures with precision.
