Optimize Technologies OPTI-SEAL™, UHMW PE Piston Seal, Thermo L Pump, 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, 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.
Optimize Technologies EXP™ Trap Cartridge, 1mm x 5mm, 5.0µm HALO, PFP, 3pk
The Hand-Tight EXP™ Trap Column is rated to 20,000+ psi. This unique design connects directly to any injection valve (with 10-32 threads) or in-line with 1/16” tubing for unparalleled convenience and efficiency. The EXP™ System enables chemists to quickly remove detergents or salts which can affect the ionization process in MS work. This trapping technique can concentrate the sample directly on-line, allowing for increased recovery of precious sample material compared to off-line techniques. Free-Turn™ architecture allows users to change cartridges by hand without breaking fluid connections on the holder inlet/outlet. The EXP™ Trap Column family now offers packed beds available in 2, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30mm lengths with diameters ranging from 1-4.6mm and bed volumes from 1.6-600µL. Please contact your representative directly if you're interested in a length other than 5mm.
Optimize Technologies OPTI-LYNX™ Trap Cartridges, 40µL Bed, DVB/SCX, 5pk
OPTI-LYNX™ Trap Cartridges combine the convenience of our quick-connect holder with a versatile selection of packed-bed cartridges to offer chromatographers numerous options for on-line or off-line sample clean-up and pre-concentration. Each cartridge shares the same external dimensions, allowing you to use different diameters and porosities with the same holder hardware. OPTI-LYNX™ Traps are available in packed-bed volumes of 4 µL to 100 µL with a wide range of standard and custom packings. Whether you want to separate a peptide digest from its matrix for further analyses, or prepare a dilute small molecule sample for LC injection without any sample loss - OPTI-LYNX™ Traps are the ideal tool to optimize your technique. These columns can be loaded and regenerated repeatedly for maximum value.
Optimize Technologies OPTI-MAX™ Inlet Cartridge Check Valve, 1/8" Ceramic Ball & Seat, PEEK Cartridge, Perkin-Elmer Model 250, Series 4, 200, 400, 410, 620, Integral 4000
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 0254-0177 and N2600226.

Optimize Technologies OPTI-MAX™ PEEK Washer, Waters
Most instrument manufacturers will tell you quite emphatically that for optimal instrument performance, you should only use components that match their performance specifications. We could not agree more. Every replacement component we offer is designed to meet or exceed original equipment specifications - guaranteed.
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.
