 FocusLiner™
quartz wool remains fixed in ideal position by two tapered sections
Split
universal Liner
concentrated samples
dirty samples |
the addition of quartz wool to the inlet liner promotes mixing of analytes, aids the vaporization of liquid samples, works as a trap to collect non-volatile residue in the sample (i.e. protects capillary column from 'dirty' samples).
the two tapered sections in the liner ensure that the quartz wool remains fixed in the ideal position
the tapered section at the top prevents the quartz wool to move towards the septum while the taper at the bottom prevents the quartz wool to be pushed down by the syringe needle
this insures an excellent reproducibility of your analysis

Wide boiling point range |
advantages of FocusLiner™ see above
Bottom taper focuses sample onto the head of the column and minimizes contact with metal parts of the inlet
especially important in splitless injection as the sample remains longer in the liner

Quartz wool provides additional surface area for complete volatilization of the sample to minimize sample discrimination.
Quartz wool wipes any sample from the syringe needle, thereby increasing reproducibility and preventing sample residue build-up at the septum
Quartz wool traps non-volatile components and septum particles from reaching the column
A bottom taper focuses sample onto the head of the column and minimizes sample contact with metal parts of the inlet

ConnectTite™ Liner
Splitless
trace level analysis
active compounds |
ConnectTite™liners facilitate maximum transfer of sample to GC column and inhibit sample degradation due to hot metal components inside inlet
systems equipped with electronic pressure control require a hole in the liner body to maintain system gas flows
ConnectTite™liners that have a hole near the bottom are best suited to analyses where a tailing solvent peak could affect early eluting compounds.
ConnecTite™ liners with a hole at the top of the liner will improve your analysis with aqueous injections or where compounds of interest elute away from the solvent peak.

(also Purge and Trap, Headspace) |
straight liners facilitate higher split flows
narrow bore straight liners facilitate fast GC work
small injection volumes of less than 0.5 μL are best used with a narrow bore
Narrow bore straight liners improve focussing of gaseous samples (purge, trap and headspace)

PTV LVI
trace level analysis
large volume injections |
PTV and LVI liners generally have sintered glass beads or powder to increase the surface area and trap nonvolatile residue
PTV liners use baff es or a wisp of quartz wool to aid in vaporization of samples and retain droplets during low temperature injections
Side hole needles are recommended for these techniques to ensure effective distribution of sample within the liner
