Today’s chromatographers need to move from tubing based flow systems to planar microchannel systems to deliver flexible chromatography solutions.
• Enabled by SGE’s expertise in surface chemistry, SilFlow features chemically deactivated stainless steel channels avoiding active sites experienced with conventional connections.
• SilFlow can be incorporated into your system without impacting your chromatography.
Low Dead Volume Connections
• Conventional graphite or Vespel® ferrules cannot be used with the SilFlow MCD as the dimensional stability is not adequate and there is a risk of contaminating the channels.
• SilFlow specific SilTite® FingerTite metal ferrules result in a reliable zero dead volume connection, giving you optimized peak shapes.
Superb Operational Stability
SilFlow Technical Specifications:
• Pressure Capability - The SilFlow system can be operated at pressures greater than 25,000 psi (170,000 kPa).
• Thermal Lag - SilFlow tracks oven temperature up to 20 °C/min. The design of SilFlow alleviates cold spots and sample condensation.
• Maximum Temperature - No practical temperature limit. Limited only by the temperative rating of the GC column being used - ≤ 420 °C.
Easy to Install and Leak Free
Kits incorporate SilTite FingerTite fittings that are easy to set up and can be tightened using finger force to achieve a perfect, reliable seal, even for the most sensitive MS systems – no wrenches required!
