Optimize Technologies EXP2 Stem Trap Kit, 0.33µL, 2.7µm HALO, Phenyl-Hexyl
A standard EXP™2 Stem Trap Kit includes (1) EXP™2 Stem Holder and (3) packed stems. Specialized features, patented technology, precision engineering and state-of-the-art manufacturing make the new EXP2 Stem Trap an unbeatable choice for ultra high-pressure trapping applications. Its slim architecture allows it to easily fit into crowded instrument compartments or to connect directly to tightly-spaced injection ports. When tightened by hand, the EXP2 Stem Trap seals to 8,700+ psi. Additionally, the product can be wrench tightened to 20,000+ psi (1,400+ bar). The unique packed floating stem installs directly into any 10-32 port and automatically adjusts to provide a perfect ZDV connection. The replacement stems are low volume/ low-dispersion, intended for many repeat uses and is available with various bed volume and custom packing options. This product is recommended for nano flow applications.
Optimize Technologies ITB™ PTFE Piston Seal, Varian 9000 Star, 9010, 9012, 9020, 220, 230, 240, 10pk
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 03-919397-00.
Waters Corp Funnel Assy WAT023396
Waters Advanced Purification (AP) columns feature non-metallic construction and adjustable bed height with easy to use coarse and fine adjustments. The AP Glass columns are available in a variety of dimensions. Glass Tubes, Column Jackets, Plastic Shields and other replacement parts are sold separately.
Optimize Technologies Waters Type Compression Screws & Ferrules, (39-24-01090 & 39-24-01291), 10pk
OPTI-LOK™ Fittings are ideal for high-pressure connections with 1/16” OD tubing. All Optimize fittings are precision machined for optimal quality and thread consistency and are designed for trouble-free operation at pressures of up to 6,000 psi. We realize that your time is valuable and should not be wasted worrying about fittings. For this reason, all Optimize fittings are precision machined in the USA for optimal quality and thread consistency. The machining process is the best way to ensure tight manufacturing tolerances and minimal product variance. This product is equivalent to OEM part number WAT025604.
Optimize Technologies EXP™2 Replacement Stems, 0.17µL, 5.0µm HALO, C18, 3pk
Specialized features, patented technology, precision engineering and state-of-the-art manufacturing make the new EXP2 Stem Trap an unbeatable choice for ultra high-pressure trapping applications. Its slim architecture allows it to easily fit into crowded instrument compartments or to connect directly to tightly-spaced injection ports. When tightened by hand, the EXP2 Stem Trap seals to 8,700+ psi. Additionally, the product can be wrench tightened to 20,000+ psi (1,400+ bar). The unique packed floating stem installs directly into any 10-32 port and automatically adjusts to provide a perfect ZDV connection. The new EXP2 design incorporates an integral ferrule into the front-end of the holder so there is no separate ferrule to lose! The replacement stems are also low volume/ low-dispersion, intended for many repeat uses and is available with various bed volume and custom packing options. This product is recommended for nano flow applications. For use with EXP™2 Stem Holder Only
Optimize Technologies OPTI-MAX™ Cartridge Check Valve Conversion Kit, Beckman 100A, 126
Make the switch to OPTI-MAX™ for less than ever before with OPTI-MAX™ Conversion Kits. Each kit includes all the OPTI-MAX™ check valve housings and cartridges you need to convert your HPLC instrument. By default, each kit includes our recommended OPTI-MAX™ cartridge, stainless steel/ceramic OPTI-MAX™ (PEEK cartridges are supplied for biocompatible systems). However, if you'd like to substitute an alternate material the kit price will not be affected. These kits contain all the check valves you need for your HPLC pump grouped under a single part number.
Optimize Technologies Sapphire Piston Thermo L Pump
Pistons are, by design, a consumable part of the HPLC pump and should be replaced on a regular preventative maintenance schedule. To maintain peak performance and avoid unplanned downtime, sapphire pistons require inspection every six months with yearly or as-needed replacement. Optimize sapphire pistons offer optimal concentricity and resistance to wear. Each sapphire rod is specifically cut in relation to the grain of the crystal lattice, yielding maximal resistance to breakage and superior wear characteristics. Attachment of the rod to the piston ferrule is performed through a proprietary process ensuring concentricity. This is an important, often overlooked procedure parameter that has a direct effect on seal lifetime.
Optimize Technologies OPTI-SEAL™ UHMW-PE Plunger Seal, Waters Alliance/2690, 2695, 2790, 2795
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 WAT270938.
