Swap’n Go

Joint Analytical Systems GmbH has introduced a new product - a user-friendly GC/MS interface which enables a 100% tool-free column exchange without MS venting. A narrow, special deactivated transfer tube is used as a connection between the analytical column and the MS source. Swap’n Go is an easy-touse, self-installable robust device, which enables the operator to exchange capillary columns fast and simple - completely tool-free and without MS venting. Unscheduled disruption in analytical work due to column exchange is avoided.

The analytical column (200, 250 and 320 μm ID) is fixed only hand-tight to the Swap’n Go adapter by a special designed JAS-Tight nut sealed with a JAS-Tight ferrule. The column is also connected only hand-tight to the S/SL injector by means of a special JAS injector adapter. Instrument-specific systems are available for Agilent and Thermo instruments.

Benefits of using JAS Swap’n Go GC/MS-Interface System include: keeps MS-vacuum intact during column exchange and allows restart after 3-4 minutes; time-consuming venting of the MS is not required; enables fast, simple and 100% hand-tight exchange of analytical columns; avoids the use of additional He-purge/make-up gas flow, which might cause sample dilution; allows easy user-operated (also Retro-fit) installation for Agilent GC/MSD and Thermo.

GC/MS systems; and avoids time-consuming venting of the MS and improves laboratory productivity.

JAS Swap’n Go GC/MS interface is 100% hand-tight tool and therefore unique in the market. This powerful device is delivered in a box including required ferrules and installation instruction (installation video and manuals in English and German).
