What Does OTC Stand For?
OTC stands for Open Tubular Column
OTC, or Open Tubular Column, refers to a type of chromatography column characterized by its thin-walled, open tubular design. This structure allows for high efficiency and resolution in the separation of compounds, making it particularly effective for gas chromatography. The open tubular design minimizes stationary phase volume, enhancing analyte sensitivity and reducing analysis time. OTCs are widely utilized in various applications, including environmental monitoring, pharmaceuticals, and biochemical research, due to their ability to provide precise and accurate results in complex mixtures.
