Optimize Technologies OPTI-MAX Inlet Cartridge Check Valve, 1/8" Ruby Ball/Sapphire Seat, PEEK Cartridge, Shimadzu LC-6A, LC-10AS
Opti-Max™ Cartridge Check Valves are designed to offer maximum performance and ease of use. From the sharp, consistent threads on OPTI-MAX™ custom housings, to the exacting standards used to match ball/seat sets in OPTI-MAX™ cartridges, every aspect of design and manufacturing reflects an unavoidable fact: when it comes to reliable check valve operation, quality and precision make a big difference. OPTI-MAX™ check valves offer many advantages over OEM check valve systems, and are better designed, better made and more reliable than any other after-market check valve product. Additionally, OPTI-MAX™ Free-Turn™ housings can be removed with the tubing still attached, accelerating check valve maintenance while reducing fitting wear. This item is equivalent to OEM part number 228-12353-91.
Optimize Technologies OPTI-SOLV Analytical Solvent Reservoir Filter for 1/8" OD Tubing, 2µm
A solid PTFE body keeps the OPTI-SOLV™ filter at the base of the bottle where a bottom-mounted titanium frit provides unrestricted solvent access. As always, Optimize makes installation as simple as possible - no tools or fittings required and includes 5 feet of pre-installed PTFE tubing. OPTI-SOLV™ Reservoir Filters employ a unique conical design inside the filter housing to prevent air bubbles from getting trapped and disturbing your analysis. While the availability of HPLC-grade solvents diminishes the need for pre-filtering, it is still imperative that a filtration device be installed in the reservoir. Placing a filter in the reservoir is an economical way to filter particles that may result from buffer salt precipitation, airborne dust, improperly cleaned glassware, or microbial contamination; none of which are remedied by the use of HPLC-grade solvents.

Optimize Technologies OPTI-SEAL UHMW-PE Wash Seal for HP 1050, 1100, 1200
Optimize Piston Seals are the longest lasting seals on the market. Machined from either of two proprietary polymer blends, UHMW-PE or ITB, Optimize Seals provide the ultimate in high pressure sealing capacity. For mostly aqueous buffered mobile phases, Opti-Seal™ UHMW-polyethylene is the wisest choice. Specially designed to be more resistant to abrasion and wear than standard polyethylene seals, they can last up to seven times longer under mostly aqueous conditions. Despite the UHMW-PE's durability, it has a coefficient of friction approaching that of PTFE. The homogenous polymer nature leads to less shedding, but when it does occur, a larger, more fibrous particle is produced which is easily caught by a filter frit. This item is equivalent to OEM part number 0905-1175.

Optimize Technologies ITB™ PTFE Piston Seal, Varian 2010, 2510
Optimize Piston Seals are the longest lasting seals on the market. Machined from either of two proprietary polymer blends, UHMW-PE or ITB, Optimize Seals provide the ultimate in high pressure sealing capacity. For mostly aqueous buffered mobile phases, PTFE-based Improved PTFE Blend (ITB) seals are a superior choice for applications with elevated temperatures, high organic content, or when the broadest possible solvent compatibility is required. ITB™ seals tend to be softer than those made from UHMW-PE, making them more forgiving at high pressures where piston side-loading or misalignment may occur. This softer nature also leads to more shedding, but the ITB™ proprietary blend is designed to shed particles that are large enough to be caught at the surface of a standard 2µm frit, not embed within it. This item is equivalent to OEM part number 00-997261-37.
