Frequently asked questions

What tubing is recommended for column connections?

1/16 in. stainless steel tubing is recommended, with specific inner diameters (ID) required based on the work type.

Which fittings are compatible with these columns?

Parker compatible 1/16 in. nuts and ferrules are recommended, while fittings from Waters and Rheodyne may not be compatible.

What is the recommended procedure for conditioning the column?

Wash out shipping solution, exchange counter ion by eluting with high ionic strength buffer until baseline stabilizes, then equilibrate with low ionic strength buffer.

How should the column be stored for long-term?

Flush with water, then introduce a storage buffer of approximately 0.1 M Na2SO4 containing 0.2% sodium azide.
