For the rapid, reliable and low-dead volume connection of two capillary columns with the same or different outside diameter, or of different materials.
The components of the GRAPHPACK 3D/2 connection technology are the GRAPHPACK 3D/2 ferrule, the GRAPHPACK 3D/2 connector and the GRAPHPACK 3D/2 screw.
The components of the GRAPHPACK 3D/2 connection technology are the GRAPHPACK 3D/2 ferrule, the GRAPHPACK 3D/2 connector and the GRAPHPACK 3D/2 screw.
The central component of the technology is the ferrule which consists of a metal jacketed cylindrical graphite wafer. This ferrule has a precision hole drilled through it that is matched with the column outside diameter. This provides a low dead volume connection that is also self centering – a feature that is extremely important for single and dual column connection to a GC inlet.
There are five main types of GRAPHPACK fittings:
Column Connectors for all column types and diameters
Detector Adapters for connecting capillary columns to most GC detectors
Flow Splitters for splitting column flow between up to three separate streams
Inlet Adapters for connecting capillary columns to most GC inlets
Swagelok Adapters for connection standard Swagelok fittings to capillary columns
