GRAPHPACK 3D/2 Connection Technology from Gerstel
All pictures shown are for illustration purpose only. Actual product may vary.
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.
Features
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
