Capillary Column Installation Kit

Capillary Column Rinse Kit

This kit makes solvent rinsing easy! Solvent rinsing removes many contaminants that accumulate in columns. The contaminants are removed by passing solvents through the column. Only bonded and cross-linked phase columns should be rinsed, or permanent damage to the column will result.

Fused Silica Tubing Cutters

We offer a conveniently designed, pencil-shaped tool and a ceramic wafer that allow you to make clean and easy cuts in fused silica, glass and aluminum-clad capillary columns.

Column Baskets and Hangers

Ferrule Tools

Remove ferrules stuck inside fittings. Screw the stainless steel ferrule tool into the ferrule and pull it out. Use the smaller capillary ferrule tool for capillary column ferrules (0.32 mm id
column and smaller). The megabore ferrule tool is used for megabore ferrules. The liner tool can be used to remove polyimide and tubing from inside a megabore liner. The column ferrule
installation tool positions a ferrule onto a capillary column for proper installation.

20x Magnifier, Microprobes & Mirror

• Examine column ends for proper cuts. Jagged, rough, or nonperpendicular cuts negatively affect chromatographic performance.
• Hardened stainless steel probes remove septum and ferrule pieces stuck in fittings. Five different styles give you all of the angles necessary for getting into those hard-to-reach places.
• Inspect injection ports, the inside of fittings, and other hard-to-reach places.

Snoop

Leak test most pressurized gas systems. We recommend that leak detecting solutions be used with care where there is any possibility of the fluid being aspirated into gas flow streams supplying the column or detector. This squeezable bottle comes with a “Snooper Tube” extendable up to 12 inches (30 cm). Electronic leak detectors are preferred. In their absence, a volatile nonreactive solvent like isopropanol may be used. Use caution to avoid aspiration of materials such as Snoop into the column.

Injection Port Cleaning kit

If changing the liner and trimming the column does not remove contamination from your injection port, you probably need to clean and flush your injection port. Three stainless steel brushes and a scraper are the ideal tools for removing sample residue and septum particles. The stainless steel brushes have diameters of 5 mm, 1/4 in. and 3/8 in.

FID Cleaning Kit

This easy-to-use maintenance kit improves sensitivity, reduces noise, and decreases detector spiking.

FID Cleaning kit

This file set scores glass, removes burrs from metal tubing, and cleans threads. This 12-piece
file set covers all the laboratory filing needs. The files are 5 1/2 in. long.
