SGE Analytical Science has introduced a
range of GC connections that offer these advantages over other connectors, press-fits,
splitters and ferrules:
-
Chemically inert
- Superb operational stability
- Low dead volume
- Easy to install and leak free
New
SilTiteTM
µ-union simplifies connecting guard columns or columns when using GCxGC.
SilFlowTM
microchannel device enables maximum chromatography performance when column
switching and splitting, back flushing and performing multidimensional GC.
SilTiteTM FingerTite Ferrules allow finger tightening avoiding the use of tools and achieve a
perfect seal.
SGE's range of GC Connections is designed
to minimize time spent on installation and deliver these enhanced
chromatography features:
Enabled by SGE's expertise in surface
chemistry, each metal surface is treated to ensure optimized chromatography.
- Superb operational stability
SGE's GC Connections are manufactured from
high grade stainless steel, and have minimal thermal mass, ensuring there is
minimal thermal lag during use. This also means there is no practical limit to
their maximum temperature; the only limitation is the temperature rating of the
GC column.
SilTite
TM FingerTite and SilFlow
TM FingerTite
ferrules used in SGE GC Connections result in low dead volume fittings, giving
you optimal peak shapes.
- Easy to install and leak free
SGE's GC Connections are designed with
FingerTite fittings that are easy to set up and can be tightened using finger
force to achieve a reliable seal, even for the most sensitive MS systems - no
wrenches required!
SilTiteTM
μ-Union
This tiny connector will make a big difference
to your chromatography! SilTite
TM μ-union
is a connector for GC Capillary columns for example when connecting a
pre-column or a guard column, or when using GCxGC. Low thermal mass: 9 mm in length and mass
<0.5 g. Available in kits to connect
a range of columns from 0.1 mm ID through to 0.53 mm ID. The SilTite
TM μ-union is fitted as standard
when you order a SGE GC Capillary column with integrated guard (5 m). Contact SGE for ordering details.
SilFlowTM
Microchannel Devices
SilFlow
TM micro fluidic platform enables
maximum chromatography performance. Common uses include column switching and splitting,
back flushing, GC x GC. SilFlow
TM microchannel
device (MCD) available as 3 and 4 port GC splitters and a Deans' switch MCD,
perfect for multidimensional analyses and comprehensive chromatography. SilFlow
TM
Kits include all items required to get started:
MCD, SilTite
TM FingerTite tool, mounting bracket and appropriately
sized ferrules, nuts and blanking ferrules.
Compatible deactivated tubing is also available.
SilTiteTM FingerTite Injector and
Detector Ferrules
SilTite
TM
FingerTite
is the next generation ferrule system for gas chromatography available
for Agilent, Thermo, PerkinElmer, Bruker/Varian and Shimadzu systems. These ferrules simplify GC column
installation and reduce background noise in sensitive MS applications. SilTite
TM FingerTite ferrules require a unique
adapter to enable the finger force connection. Purchase the starter kit with corresponding
adapters for your system, complete a one off 5 minute installation and you are
ready to go! Available in injector /
detector or detector only kits.
