Optimize Technologies EXP™2 Replacement Stems, 2.6µL, 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-TRAP™ Capillary Trap Cartridge, SCX, 0.5µL, 0.5mm
The OPTI-TRAP™is a bi-directional trap cartridge system which is used individually or in a series for sample concentration and purification. The OPTI-TRAP™ system features a durable biocompatible trap holder assembly made of either PEEK (capillary configuration) or stainless steel with a PEEK flow path (micro and macro configurations). OPTI-TRAPs feature low back pressure and are loaded and eluted manually with a syringe or on-line when plumbed into the sample injection valve. Additionally OPTI-TRAPs include titanium frits for full biocompatibility and custom packing is also available upon request. The cartridges are available in three different sizes: 50uL, 5.0uL & 0.5uL and can be purchased as singles or in 6 packs.

Optimize Technologies OPTI-SEAL™ UHMW-PE Piston Seal, Dionex, ICS-3000, ICS-5000 (Analytical Version Only), 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, 1.5mm x 5mm, 5.0µm HALO, Phenyl-Hexyl, 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-MAX EXP Double Ball Upgrade for UHPLC Pressures, 1/16" Ceramic Balls & Seats, SS Replacement Cartridge with PEEK endcaps, Fits all OPTI-MAX Housings (except xx-6x-xxxxx) 2pk
Opti-Max Check Valves are manufactured with ball and seat sets that are individually matched to ensure a lock-and-key fit. This guarantees 3 bubbles per minute or less in the standard nitrogen bubble test. Optimize has also minimized the ball travel distance within the check valve which results in quicker seating and more accurate pump metering. A single OPTI-MAX cartridge is interchangeable across multiple pump brands, and will function in either the inlet or outlet position. The same replacement cartridge will fit into OPTI-MAX housings for pumps made by Waters, Shimadzu, Agilent/HP, and most other OEM solvent delivery systems. This allows you to minimize the number of spare check valve cartridges you keep on hand, and dramatically reduce the cost of inventory required to cover your maintenance needs. This particular check valve is recommended for acetonitrile applications. Please contact your Fisher or Optimize representative to view a full list of OPTI-MAX cartridges.

Optimize Technologies EXP™2 6-40 Fitting Kit for 1/32" OD SS Tubing (10 Titanium Hybrid Ferrules, 10 EXP™2 Nuts & 1 EXP™2 Driver)
Featuring a small 3/16” hex-head EXP™2 nut, EXP™ Original Titanium Hybrid Ferrule and the new EXP™2 Driver, the EXP™2 Fittings offer hand-tight connections rated to 20,000 psi+. The EXP™2 Nuts are available with 6-32, 6-40 and 10-32 threads and have been scaled down to allow for maximum working room in cramped spaces. The EXP™2 Driver is a small, easy to use knurled torque driver which snaps on to the nuts for hand-tightening and loosening. It is also slotted so that it can be easily removed from the nut and tubing after use. The Hybrid Ferrule provides a perfect seal with every connection, yet the swage can be released without tools to adjust to the different port depths of various hardware. This adjustability provides unlimited value through repeated zero-dead-volume connections with any port configuration. EXP™2 fittings are the premier adjustable nut and ferrule compression system for extreme high-pressure connections.
Optimize Technologies EXP™ Analytical Column Direct-Connect Holder Kit, 100mm
