Optimize Technologies OPTI-MAX™ Inlet Cartridge Check Valve, 1/16" Double Ceramic Ball & Seat, Stainless Steel Cartridge, Shimadzu LC-20ADXR, LC-20ABXR
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 numbers 228-48249-96 and 228-48249-91.

Optimize Technologies ITB™ PTFE Piston Seal, Varian 10mL S/SC Heads, Prostar 210, 215
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 numbers R007101447 and R007101636.
