TDX-01 GC columns

Hello all,

I have to find a good column for my Agilent 7820 A GC.
I will work in steam reforming, and then I would like to separate H2, O2, N2, CO, CO2 and CH4.
I have seen in literature that too many people use the TDX-01 packed columns, but I really cannot find any european supplier.
does anyone have any idea where could I get those columns, and what is the sampling time to see all my compounds?
Moreover, does anyone have experience with the Shincarbon columns? can I separate properly the above compounds in a not so long time?
Thank you very much

Shincarbon will not seperate oxygen and nitrogen. The analysis of the gases that you list require two columns with valve switching. You should also give the list of all gases in your mixture andn their concentrations, as this also will determine which columns to use.
