Agilent's non-stick O-rings are used to improve GC inlet maintenance, using non-stick O-rings can improve performance and reduce maintenance time
Agilent Nonstick O-Rings utilize plasma technology to prevent sticking to inlet liners and metal sealing areas, a common issue with standard O-rings that can lead to liner breakage during maintenance. This technology is derived from the same plasma treatment used for Agilent Premium Septa.
The O-ring is designed to prevent sticking to the liner and metal inlet sealing area, which avoids the need for excessive force that can cause liner breakage.
Changing the liner frequently using these O-rings reduces system background noise and ensures quantitative transfer of all solutes to the column.
The O-rings are sold in packages with part number 5180-4182, containing 10 O-rings per package.
