Column End Fittings for Fused Silica – Nanovolume®

screen embedded in CEF liner

NOTE: Nanovolume column end fittings are non-stock items, available only on a special order basis.

Nanovolume® column end fittings include two liners to adapt the 1/32" fitting to fused silica. The 27 mm liner, used inside the internal nut, has a 1 µm 316 stainless steel screen embedded in the PEEK to provide closure for fused silica columns. The 10 mm liner is used with the external nut.

Like other Nanovolume fittings, column end fittings include our one-piece 1/32" fingertight fittings, with a patented* collapsible ferrule. To avoid potential confusion, all fittings utilizing the Cheminert collapsible ferrule are made of black PEEK. The liners are natural PEEK.
