The EXP® Hand-Tight Nut & Titanium Hybrid Ferrule fitting system is the premier adjustable nut and ferrule compression fitting for extreme high-pressure connections between 1/16" tubing and any 10-32 port. The patent-pending Titanium Hybrid Ferrule integrates the resilience of titanium with the proven sealing ability of PEEK in a superb one-piece design. The Hybrid Ferrule provides a perfect seal with every connection, yet the…

The EXP® Pre-Column Filter is ideal for protecting small-particle UHPLC columns at extreme pressures. Such techniques analyze samples in the most demanding applications, which can decrease the life of these expensive columns. EXP® Pre-Column Filters help extend that life and protect your column investment without sacrificing performance. Free-Turn® architecture allows the user to change cartridges by hand without breaking flui…

OPTI-GUARD® 1mm Guard Columns set the standard for extremely low impact, easy to use pre-column protection. Designed for use with analytical (4.6, 3.0 mm i.d.) and narrow-bore (2.1, 1.0 mm i.d.) columns, the patented floating stem design automatically adjusts to any manufacturer's tube stop depth for a zero-dead-volume connection every time. The best part? It's no larger than a standard fitting. Connecting the OPTI-GUARD® requ…

The OPTI-PAK Trap Columns unique hardware design integrates a PEEK holder with an auto-adjusting stem which provides a fluid interface with any 10-32 standard injector port, and guarantees a zero-dead-volume connection despite variances in tube stop depth. A proprietary method of frit placement allows the packed stem to be positioned directly into the flow path, which eliminates all excess swept volume. Less swept volume trans…

Everything in the manufacturing process is controlled to ensure the continuing quality that has long been associated with the Optimize name. From the individual matching of check valve ball and seat sets to the proprietary blend of materials in our seals - experience the Optimize advantage.Most instrument manufacturers wil…

The EXP® Guard Column cartridge system is rated to 15,000 psi with hand-tight replaceable cartridges. This unique design connects directly to any UHPLC column with the auto-adjusting Titanium Hybrid Ferrule and EXP® Fittings, providing repeated zero-dead-volume connections and easy adjustability between various column types. Free-Turn¨ architecture allows the user to change cartridges by hand without breaking fluid connections…

The patent-pending EXP® Trap Column is rated for use at 20,000+ psi (1,400+ bar). This unique design connects directly to any injection valve (with 10-32 threads) or in-line with 1/16” stainless tubing for unparalleled convenience and efficiency. The EXP® Cartridge System enables chemists to quickly remove detergents or salts which can affect the ionization process in MS work. This trapping technique can concentrate the sampl…

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…

The entire EXP® Stem Trap and reusable holder are only slightly larger than a standard HPLC fitting. 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 EXP® Stem Trap seals to 8,700+ psi. All configurations incorporate wrench-flats to enable flawless sealing to 20,000+ psi (1,400+ bar). The unique packed floati…
