FLEX-COLUMN® Economy Flow Adapters
Flow adapters can significantly improve FLEX-COLUMN® performance by protecting the gel bed from disruption during sample loading and by eliminating any dead volume above the gel bed. They improve chromatogram resolution by delivering the sample and buffer directly to the top of the gel bed and are also recommended when using buffer gradients or when the columns are connected to a low pressure pump system. Flow adapters consist of 1/16" OD PTFE tubing, a polyacetal body, a Viton® o-ring seal and a 20µm porosity HDPE bed support. One replacement bed support is supplied with each flow adapter.
