Price savings, with expensive PEEK significantly replaced by much less expensive aluminum.
Strong anodized aluminum thread allows many more use-cycles than a one-piece PEEK design.
Finger-tight installation. PEEK tip installs permanently and cannot be lost during installation.
Pressure rating up to 5,000 psi (350 bar), suitable for ultra-fast chromatography applications.
One-size-fits-most applications, including columns, valves, and instrument ports.
Several color options, including red, black, blue, gold, and gray.
Break-resistant -- when a normal column is accidentally dropped with the fitting in, the PEEK fitting usually breaks, leaving hard-to-remove pieces inside the column. Aluminum can bend -- but it won't break, and thus it can be simply replaced with another fitting, saving the expensive column.
Improves heat transfer with the incoming capillary, when a column heater is used.
Patent-pending design.
Fittings Ultra High Pressure
SIELC Advanced Fitting Design. Smart-Fitting邃? System.
When pressure approaches 5000 psi (350 bar), capillary lines have the tendency to pop-up when tightened by regular HPLC fittings. The advances, during the past few years, of ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography makes reliable connections a challenging task, if used with finger-tight fitting design. SIELC addresses this situation with a new breakthrough design of
Ultra High Pressure Fittings
Strong stainless steel thread allows many more use-cycles than a one-piece PEEK design.
Finger-tight installation. PEEK tip installs permanently and cannot be lost.
Pressure rating up to 14,000 psi (1000 bar).
One-size-fits-most applications, including columns, valves, and instrument ports.
Break-resistant -- when a normal column is accidentally dropped with the fitting in, the PEEK fitting usually breaks, leaving hard-to-remove pieces inside the column. Metal fitting can bend -- but it won't break, and thus it can be simply replaced with another fitting, saving the expensive column.
Improves heat transfer with the incoming capillary, when a column heater is used.
PEEK and metal-capillary compatible.
Special capillary tube gripping mechanism allows strong holding effect of the tube, even with very gentle tightening force.
Patent-pending design.
