" OD high performance LC columns. The unique
quick-connect inlet with special fluorocarbon elastomer o-ring allows fast sealing without wrenches during the critical phase of
the packing operation. The maximum pressure rating is 15,000psi (103mPa). The manufacturer recommends the use of a pre-
column for best results and supplies a bored-through coupling for this purpose.
Column Assembly
Slide the external nut onto the column tubing and place the ferrule on the end of the tubing. Place the end fitting, with the
appropriate frit in place, in a vise and hold the column fully seated in the column end fitting socket. Tighten the nut with a
wrench 1.25 turns. One end of the column is now completed.
Turn the column to the opposite end and repeat the above procedure. This will properly position the ferrules and complete the
assembly of the column.
