Flow adapters improve chromatogram resolution by delivering the sample and buffer directly to the top of the gel bed. This protects the gel bed from disruption during sample loading and eliminates any dead volume above the gel bed.
- Flow adapters are recommended when using buffer gradients, during reverse flow applications and for high resolution gravity flow separations
- Each flow adapter is supplied with a 20 micron porosity HDPE bed support, TFE/propylene o-ring seal, stainless steel adjusting rod, PTFE body, and 5 feet (1.5 meters) of FEP PTFE tubing
- Blue lock ring is supplied with all sizes except those that fit 1.0 cm column ID
- Use of aggressive organic solvents requires the PTFE bed supports listed as accessories and FFKM o-rings sizes 010, 116 or 222 (not available from Kimble Chase)
