High-Performance Chromatography Consumables

• FocusLiner® Target Matrices: Engineered with locked geometry internal quartz wool steps that cleanly wipe syringe needle tips, arresting aerosol droplet formations and removing high molecular weight compound discrimination. Advanced deactivation treatments executed at temperatures exceeding 400°C secure a long-term chemical inertness layout, making it perfect for active, polar, and heat-sensitive trace analysis.
• MN & HT Septa Upgrades: MN grade septa are pre-pierced for autosamplers to reduce coring, last up to 400 injections and are rated to 350°C. HT grade septa use BTO silicone rated to 400°C and stay soft and pierceable at high temperature (ratings for 11 mm septa). GP grade (275°C) covers low-temperature work and EC grade (350°C) gives low bleed and long injection life. EC, MN and HT grades carry a non-stick coating that reduces sticking in the inlet, eases replacement and stops dust building up. Plug-style septa are made for Shimadzu GCs.
• Colour-Coded Liner Geometries: Taper/gooseneck (splitless), split, FocusLiner, Tapered FocusLiner, ConnecTite™ direct, straight and double-taper PTV/LVI liners, each colour coded by injection technique. Wool is deactivated in place so it is never handled afterwards. Liners, O-rings and graphite sealing rings (to 450°C) are listed for Agilent, PerkinElmer, Shimadzu and Thermo Scientific inlets.

Optimized for seamless cross-platform compatibility with Agilent, Shimadzu, PerkinElmer, and Thermo Scientific gas chromatography systems.

• BP1 & BP5 / BP5MS: Classic non-polar 100% dimethyl polysiloxane and 5% phenyl-siloxane technology optimized for routine hydrocarbons, environmental organic pesticides, industrial solvents, and initial analytical validation runs.
• BP20 (WAX) & SolGel-WAX™: Elite high-polarity polyethylene glycol fields cross-linked in robust Sol-Gel matrix grids, forming the global standard for complex fragrance, flavor, residual solvent, and essential oil testing without phase degradation.
• Specialized High-Temperature & Polar Phases: HT5 polycarborane-siloxane (10°C to 380/400°C) for petroleum simulated distillation; HT8 and HT8-PCB for PCB congener separations; BPX70 for FAME and cis/trans isomers; BPX90 as a highly polar bonded phase; BP624 for EPA 624, 8240 and 8260 volatiles; BP21 (FFAP) for low-molecular-weight acids.
• Operating Ranges: BP1 −60°C to 340/360°C, BPX5 −40°C to 360/370°C (suits over 80% of routine work and GC-MS), SolGel-1ms™ 0°C to 340/360°C and SolGel-WAX™ 30°C to 260/280°C. Columns can be ordered with a 5 m integrated guard joined by a SilTite μ-Union.
• BP BOND PLOT Columns for Gases: BP BOND Q (100% divinylbenzene, −100°C to 300/320°C) for volatile solvents and hydrocarbons; BP BOND U (to 300°C) for trace H₂S, COS and mercaptans in hydrocarbon streams; BP BOND Molsieve 5A for permanent, refinery and natural gases, separating argon and oxygen at ambient temperature with up to 75% shorter runs than packed columns.

• SilTite® Metal Ferrules: Metal ferrules for connecting fused silica columns to injectors and MS interfaces that stay leak free without re-tightening after temperature cycles, a direct alternative to graphite/Vespel® in GC-MS. Ferrules, nuts and graphite or graphite/Vespel options are listed for Agilent, PerkinElmer, Shimadzu and Thermo Scientific systems.
• SilTite FingerTite & μ-Union: FingerTite ferrules install capillary columns by hand with no tools (kits hold 5 nuts, 10 ferrules and a measuring tool). The μ-Union joins columns from 0.1 to 0.53 mm ID and is 9 mm long and under 0.5 g, so it adds almost no thermal mass.
• SilFlow® Planar Microchannel Device (MCD): Deactivated stainless steel 3-port and 4-port splitters and a Deans' switch for multidimensional GC, backflush and column-to-two-detector setups. Rated above 25,000 psi, tracks oven ramps up to 20°C/min and is limited only by the column (≤420°C). Kits include FingerTite fittings, tool and mounting bracket.

• Point-of-Use Filters: Oxygen filter (150 mL O₂ capacity, outlet below 50 ppb, green to grey indicator), moisture filter (7.2 g water, below 0.1 ppm, green to pale brown), hydrocarbon filter (below 0.1 ppm) and a combined carrier gas filter, all rated at 1 to 10 L/min.
• Connecting Units & Kits: Bench or wall mounted units in 1, 2 and 4 positions for 1/4" and 1/8" lines, plus a carrier gas kit and a four-filter FID kit. Fast stabilisation cuts helium use and keeps moisture out of GC-MS and column phases.
• Big Trap: Heavy-wall aluminium bulk purifier with 750 cm³ capacity, rated to 250 psig, in hydrocarbon, moisture, oxygen and universal versions for supplying several instruments from one source.
