Phenomenex Introduces the SecurityLink™ ET for Enhanced LC Separations
Phenomenex Inc., a prominent name in the field of separation sciences, has just announced the release of its latest innovation, the
SecurityLink™ ET. This new LC column connector promises to optimize both liquid chromatography (LC) and low-flow separations, marking a significant step in laboratory performance.
What is SecurityLink™ ET?
The SecurityLink ET is a versatile LC column connector compatible with both UHPLC (Ultra-High Performance Liquid Chromatography) and HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) systems. Its sophisticated design includes advanced end-cap sealing technology that ensures adaptability with almost any column or instrument connection, effectively eliminating dead volume. This results in efficient and reliable chromatographic outcomes.
Designed to handle pressures up to
1,310 bar (19,000 psi), the SecurityLink ET caters to a broad spectrum of LC applications, including micro and nano analyses. This makes it an invaluable tool for laboratories striving for accuracy and efficiency in their work.
Addressing Lab Challenges
Laboratories often face challenges due to unreliable column connections, leading to varying results that can compromise analysis. Maryam Sayeed, a product manager at Phenomenex, highlighted, "SecurityLink ET offers a reliable solution for consistent connections between LC columns and systems, minimizing the risk of system failures and reinforcing confidence in laboratory processes."
Enhanced Performance Features
The new connector employs a uniquely designed tightening tool equipped with sensory “click” torque-limiting technology. This feature guarantees a precise connection while preventing damage to connectors, peak tailing, and leaks, factors that could adversely affect chromatography results.
Moreover, the smaller plug design and external tool enable straightforward installation even in hard-to-reach areas.
Color coding indicates the hose material—either PEEKsil™ or stainless steel—and the inner diameter, simplifying ordering and organization within laboratories.
Versatility and Compatibility
SecurityLink ET is not just an addition to the Phenomenex product line; it is a significant enhancement in compatibility and flexibility for various laboratory workflows. It expands functionalities for labs conducting extensive work in micro and nano analyses, addressing the diverse needs of different research sectors.
