Phenomenex has introduced Easy Seal, an advanced seal for GC columns that addresses common problems with installation and reliability.
The new accessory is constructed of a proprietary gold-plated alloy that is softer than widely used stainless steel and can be installed without extraordinary pressure.
GC inlets are sometimes bent in the process of installing hard stainless-steel seals, but using insufficient force can result in leaks.
Easy Seal is also rugged enough to perform at high temperatures and remain stable - a challenge for seals with polymer ring-inlaid surfaces.
Easy Seal is compatible with all Agilent GC instruments.
