The new SilTite™ μ-union from SGE Analytical Science simplifies connecting GC guard columns or columns for two-dimensional GC. The advantages of SilTite™ μ-union include chemically inertness, excellent operational stability and low dead volume, easy installation and leak free connection.

Enabled by SGE’s surface chemistry expertise, SilTite™ μ-union’s stainless steel surfaces are treated to ensure inertness and optimal chromatography. The SilTite™ μ-union has low thermal mass and tracks the GC oven temperature during temperature programming so your chromatography is unaffected. The low dead volume of this GC connector ensures optimal peak shapes. Installation is easy with SGE’s FingerTite fittings that can be tightened with finger force avoiding the need for tools or wrenches. The SilTite™ μ-union achieves a perfect, reliable seal even for the most sensitive GCMS systems.

SilTite™ FingerTite

SGE Analytical Science

SilTite™ FingerTite is the next generation ferrule system for gas chromatography systems delivering an easy, leak free installation for capillary columns without the use of any tools. Who will benefit from this product? If you are running a capillary column equipped gas chromatography system, SilTite™ FingerTite will simplify your column installation process giving you less hassle and more time for chromatography. GCMS usersSilTite™ FingerTite has been developed with the unique, leak and air free properties of SilTite™ ferrules, resulting in superior air tightness to reduce background noise in sensitive MS applications meaning you can use them on your MS interface with confidence. The system requires no permanent instrument modifications, so if you need to switch back to conventional connections this can be done quickly and easily. Each starter kit includes all the parts necessary to convert one GC system (one injector and one detector) to the SilTite™ FingerTite system. In addition there are 5 SilTite™ FingerTite nuts, one packet (10 ferrules) of 0.4 mm ID SilTite™ FingerTite ferrules (suitable for installing 0.1 - 0.25 mm ID capillary columns) and a ferrule install tool which allows you to seat the ferrule in the correct position on the capillary column.

Gas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and quantitate mixtures of small and volatile compounds. Gas chromatographs or GC systems include components such as GC columns, detectors, pumps and autosamplers. Choose from packed or capillary GC columns, flame ionization (FID), photoionization (PID) electron capture detectors and selective or non-selective detectors.

Often used in drug detection, forensic investigation and environmental analysis for pesticides and contaminants, GC-MS is a powerful addition to your lab’s analytical capabilities. GC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzers can give greater sensitivity and resolution to your analysis.
