Agilent's Capillary Flow Technology Splitter offers a time-saving alternative to running samples on multiple GCs. This technology overcomes previous splitter challenges by using inert materials, having low thermal mass and dead volume, being leak free, and allowing no outgassing from sealing materials.
This document introduces Agilent's Capillary Flow Technology splitters as a time-saving alternative to running samples on multiple GC systems. These modules allow the splitting of effluent from a single column to two or three detectors on the same Gas Chromatograph (GC). The technology overcomes previous splitter challenges by using metal ferrules that do not outgas, shed particles, or detach, and features deactivated surfaces for a completely inert sample path capable of withstanding temperatures up to 350 °C.
They use metal ferrules that do not outgas or shed particles, have low thermal mass and dead volume, and eliminate leaks even after oven cycles at temperatures as high as 350 °C.
A two-way or three-way splitter with makeup gas is strongly recommended for Mass Spectrometer (MSD) applications to protect the source from possible damage caused by atmospheric detector gas leaking in.
Yes, by plugging one of the ports using a nut and ferrule plus a short length of stainless steel wire included in the kit.
