New Phenomenex, Inc. Video Demonstrates Cool-Lock Nut for GC Column Installation
"Because this product is unique, it's helpful to see a quick demo on the installation process," explained Kristen Parnell, brand manager of GC products for Phenomenex. "Method sensitivity losses of up to 30 or 40 percent are common when columns are not installed at the optimal depth. It's difficult to ensure exact positioning because the work space is cramped and the materials are quite hot. The Cool-Lock Nut allows users to change a column very quickly without burning their fingers, while helping to improve installation accuracy and reproducibility."
The Phenomenex Cool-Lock Nut works with all standard GC columns and is compatible with Agilent and Shimadzu GC systems. The Nut is available in both long and short ferrule dimensions and can be used over and over for accurate column installations.
