Columns and Fittings
Inlet/detector liners/adapters
In addition, liners for the packed column inlet are available to accept glass inserts (discussed later) for reduced reactivity, to trap nonvolatile residues, or for use with an HP Series 530 ¿ capillary column.
CNo liner is used with 1/4•inchpacked glass columns. The long leg of the column fits into the inlet body, replacing the liner. Packing and glass wool plug must be below the tip of the needle for best results.
CMetal columns are installed with a liner appropriate for the column diameter.
CIf necessary, glass columns can be installed using a metal liner (preferably those accepting a glass insert), but this is not recommended. There may be problems with dead volume in connections, and preventing contact of sample with metal surfaces.
