COLUMN INSTALLATION
Tools
Capillary Column Caps
• Attach to the column in seconds to form an airtight seal.
• Increase column lifetime—prevent moisture and air from
entering the column during storage.
• Two styles to choose from: glass or silicone material.
• Glass caps are color-coded for identifying detector and
injector ends.
• Not recommended for reuse.
Install the nut and ferrule onto
the column, then insert the
column through the installation
tool, exposing several centime-
ters at the exit end, then tighten
the nut on to the gauge.
Score and remove the
exposed end of the column,
then loosen the nut.
The ferrule will be properly seated and should
remain in place when light force is applied. Install
the column into the GC/MS interface.
Capillary Installation Gauge
• Seats ferrules onto column for consistent installations.*
• Prevents crushed column ends.
• Made from high-quality stainless steel.
*Recommended for use with graphite ferrules.
Install the column nut and ferrule
onto the column. Slide the column
into the installation gauge to the
recommended insertion distance.
Finger-tighten the nut.
Tighten the
assembly to
ensure a
properly seated
ferrule. Loosen
the assembly
and remove the
column and
column nut.
The ferrule will be properly seated,
and should remain in place when light
force is applied. If it slides loosely on
the column, repeat procedure.
