Restek’s Pack in a Box Kit is a complete column-packing system. Everything you need to pack your own analytical HPLC columns is included: pump, 20 mL reservoir, column hardware (two, 150 x 4.6 mm), and system control software (computer not included). Detailed packing instructions and a DVD video also are included. The packing pump is electric, so no pressurized air is required. AC input requirement: 85-265 VAC. 10,000 psi maximum pressure.

1/4-inch compression end-fittings are compatible with 1/16″ connecting tubing using Valco® and Parker fittings.

• Fittings with distribution cone are intended for use on 3.0 - 4.6 mm ID HPLC columns.
• Fittings with flat bottom are intended for use on 1.0 - 3.0 mm ID HPLC columns.

• 316 stainless steel tubing complete with end-fittings, frits, nuts, and ferrules.
• Preassembled prior to shipment, unless otherwise requested.
• Internal 1/16-inch seats are compatible with Valco® and Parker fittings.

We manufacture our frits from fine, chromatographic-grade 316 stainless steel, and we offer sizes to fit most column and pore sizes. To choose the correct frit, check its pore size compatibility with the particle size of the packing in the column. If the packing has a smaller particle size than the pore size of the frit, the packing can clog the frit.

Restek tubing is manufactured from fine, chromatographic-grade 316 stainless steel. It is corrosion resistant, ultrasonically cleaned and passivated. We polish the tubing and promise a burr-free cut. You can use this tubing immediately—there is no need for additional treatment.
