Simplify GC capillary column installation

Here’s a new innovation for gas chromatographers. SGE Analytical Science has launched SilTite™ FingerTite the next generation ferrule system for gas chromatography systems that delivers an easy, leak free installation for capillary columns – no tools needed!

Visitors to the SGE booth at PittCon in March had the opportunity to get hands on experience with SilTite™ Fingertite, and agreed it will simplify column installation allowing more time for chromatography.

Put simply, SilTite™ Fingertite is a GC ferrule that has been designed to be installed only with the force of your fingers. It has been developed with the unique, leak and air free properties of SilTite™ ferrules, resulting in superior air tightness. This is especially useful in helping to reduce background noise in sensitive MS applications, allowing you to use SilTite™ Fingertite on your MS interface with confidence.

Advantages of SilTite™ FingerTite:

• No practical temperature limit, is chemically inert and won’t deteriorate
• Doesn’t need retightening after installation
• Cannot break the capillary column with over-tightening
• Ideal for GC-Ms applications due to minimal porosity

SilTite™ FingerTite requires an adapter to enable the finger force connection. Once you have a starter kit with the corresponding adapter for your instrument, you can complete the one-off 5 minute install and you are ready to go. There are no permanent instrument modifications, so if for any reason you need to switch back to conventional connections, you can do this quickly and easily.
