A decent kit but not intuitive to use all parts.
Cleaning GC inlet
I had higher hopes for this kit. For years I've been using a combination of wipes, toothbrushes, Q-tips, and cloths to clean the GC inlet. A technician recommended buying this kit since I began analyzing much dirtier samples for a new project. I do like the variety of brushes that come in the kit, but to be honest, most of the time it sits in the drawer unless I am doing a full clean/replacement of the inlet. Overall, I've probably used 25% of the pieces in the kit and have no idea what I would use the other 75% on. I work with two Trace GCs, so it's highly possible that some of these brushes I've never used would be useful for other GC manufacturers. Additionally, I wish the kit came with a guide. Something as simple as pointing out what each piece can and cannot be used for. This would be very useful for someone with less GC maintenance experience than I.
