What are the advantages of the EZ-No-Vent™
GC Column-Mass Spectrometer Connector?

There are five important reasons for using this innovative connector:

Change columns in minutes without venting — 100µm transfer line throttles vacuum and prevents MS pump-down.
Easy to install and maintain — no special tools or plumbing required.
Gold-plated body for inertness.
Deactivated transfer line keeps analytes focused; high-temperature polyimide ferrules eliminate leaks at the problematic transfer line fitting.
Lower cost than other “no-vent” fittings

The EZ-No-Vent™ GC Column-Mass Spectrometer Connector is available for Agilent GCs with 5971/5972 or 5973 GC/MS and Varian Saturn 2000 Series Mass Spectrometers.
