- Speed up column installation with Hot Swap column nuts.
- No waiting for the injector to cool.
- No cumbersome wrenches.
- And no burned fingers!
- Improve data consistency—finger-tight gauges help you set insertion distances quickly and accurately.
Reduce Instrument Downtime with Finger-Tight GC Fittings
Spending too much time on column installation and maintenance? Finger-tight GC fittings are faster and easier to install than traditional fittings, and they give you leak-tight connections with much less effort. Switch today to increase sample throughput and improve lab productivity.
Keep Cool with Hot Swap Technology
The heat-dissipating design of Hot Swap finger-tight column nuts lets you save time by changing the column while the injector is still hot. With Hot Swap column nuts, you can finish maintenance faster without burning your fingers or waiting for the instrument to cool down.
Ensure Better Data Quality with Finger-Tight Gauges
Consistent column insertion distance is the key to stable chromatographic performance and reliable results. Reduce user variation, poor peak shape, and low response by using finger-tight capillary gauges to quickly seat ferrules in exactly the right place for every installation.
Switch to Finger-Tight Fittings to Speed Up and Simplify Maintenance for All Your GCs!
