How does it work?
SIELC provides an end-piece (A), which includes a 150-mm long narrow bore PEEK capillary with permanently installed stainless steel sleeve and with 0.05-mm thick SS frit.
Assembly (B) includes a connection of the end-piece (A) with empty PEEK capillary column and compressing the sleeve by our specialized tool (D).
The axial forces produced by the tool compresses the end of the sleeve within the anvil to form a tight permanent connection of the sleeve to the column body (C).
Fully assembled ready for packing capilary column is also available from SIELC
