For years, you've been connecting your capillary columns to your GC using ferrules, nuts, and wrenches
For years, you've been connecting your capillary columns to your GC using ferrules, nuts, and wrenches...and you've probably stripped a few fittings, gone through enough ferrules to break the bank, and maybe even broken a column or two in the process.

Now Quadrex offers you a column installation system that brings capillary column installation into the 1990's. With the Quadrex Capillary Column Quick-Connect, you can now get instant column installations using conventional graphite-Vespel ferrules by the simple flip of a lever.

Check out the advantages that pay for themselves...very quickly!

Reduced ferrule consumption: the Quick-Connect elininates the common problem of overtightening ferrules. The same sealing force is generated each time the Quick-Connect is used which does not deform the ferrule. As a result, standard graphite-Vespel ferrules can be re-used over and over again.

No extra-chromatographic effects: the Quick-Connect does not generate hot or cold spots and almost exactly follows the GC oven temperature profile. Go to the Quick-Connect Frequesntly Asked Questions to view a temperature profile chart.

Easily installed onto most popular GCs: It just screws onto you injector and detector fittings (some models do require an adaptor nut - which we provide).

Eliminate stripped injector and detector fittings: you can easily wear-out or cross thread your injector and detector fittings with the standard installation method using a column nut. The Quick-Connect eliminates this potentially expensive problem.

Reduce column changes from minutes to seconds: once the body of the Quick-Connect is installed and positioned, column changes go from minutes to seconds.

Each Quick-Connect Column Connection System comes with everything that you need to easily install your Quick-Connect onto your injector and detector ports, including a pair of the Quick-Connects bodies, a pair of column holders (the part that plugs in), and a pair of each size ferrule (for 0.25mm, 0.32mm and 0.53mm I.D. columns) appropriate for the Quick-Connect model.
