Optimize OPTI-LYNX™

OPTI-LYNX traps are available in a number of different chemistries to support all of your varying applications. We do realize, though, there is often a need for specific and/or special chemistries - do not fear. Optimize Technologies specializes in custom packing solutions. Please select the Phase & Sorbents link at the top of the page. Please contact us if you do not see the phase/sorbents you require.
The OPTI-LYNX trap cartridge is a versatile cartridge-based analyte trap system. OPTI-LYNX traps are available in a variety of bed volumes and configurations, all housed within a quick-connect cartridge design. When you need to switch traps, simply open the hardware with a quarter-turn, and pop in a new cartridge.

OPTI-LYNX trap cartridges are typically packed with large-particle silica-based materials selected for convenient sample loading, cleanup and shunting. We also offer polymeric materials such as divinyl benzene. These materials can be used together or separately to perform a variety of sample cleanup and concentration steps prior to HPLC/LCMS analysis.

OPTI-LYNX trap cartridge holders can be connected to 1/16”tubing for in-line operation in a variety of settings. They can also be placed directly within the loop of an injection valve to facilitate automated loading, flushing and elution - our injector connector kits contain everything you need to use OPTI-LYNX traps in an injection loop.

Build your OPTI-LYNX™ part number by adding the "bed code" for the empty bed volume/dimension suitable for your application to the "phase code" for the chemistry you need. Pick any combination of dimension and any chemistry! Completed part numbers have the form "11-02868-TA" (this example would correspond to an OPTI-LYNX™ 5-pack of cartridges with a 4 µL bed volume and C18 packing.)

Use these guidelines to select an optimal bed for your application.
Please note, however, that they are just guidelines, and not strict limits.
