Solid Phase Microextraction (SPME)

• Rugged stainless-steel construction ensures longer lifetimes.
• Faster extraction means higher sample throughput.
• Better sensitivity allows lower LODs.
• Choose format based on sampling technique:
  • 1.1 mm sleeve, if only using headspace sampling.
  • 1.5 mm wide sleeve, if using direct immersion sampling (works for headspace, too).

• Suitable for a wide range of analyte chemistries and sample matrices.
• Reliable performance meets or exceeds other brands.
• Robust aluminum hub is more durable than plastic.
• Optimized for PAL system autosamplers and compatible with most GC inlets.
• SPME automated sample preparation reduces sample handling and solvent consumption.

• Essential mix for establishing the performance of SPME fibers and SPME Arrows.
• Verified composition and stability.

Conversion kits designed for use with 1.1 and 1.5 mm Restek PAL SPME Arrows.

Due to the relatively large diameter of Restek PAL SPME Arrows, you must modify the GC inlet using an instrument-specific conversion kit prior to use. Converted inlets are compatible with all standard injection techniques (SPME Arrow, liquid syringe, headspace, etc.); no need to switch inlets after installation.

• Micro-thin septum center pierces easily without bending needles or breaking SPME fibers.
• Thicker outer septum wall secures septum in place and ensures a tight seal.
• Versatile closures are suitable for SPME as well as dynamic and static headspace applications.
• Septa are manufactured from low-extractability silicone and molded for dimensional conformity.
• Available in magnetic 18 mm screw caps and 20 mm crimp caps.

• Deactivation—unbelievably low breakdown for accurate and precise low-level GC analyses.
• Reproducibility—unbeatable manufacturing controls and QC testing for superior reliability across compound classes.
• Productivity—unparalleled cleanliness for maximized GC uptime and lab throughput.
• 100% Satisfaction—if a liner doesn't perform to your expectations, we will replace it or credit your account.*

Note: Merlin Microseal septa require the appropriate adaptor kit or nut for your GC. Choose standard Microseal kits/nuts for use with needles and traditional SPME fibers; choose SPME Arrow Microseal kits/nuts for use with SPME Arrow. Select a replacement seal and see Restek Recommends to order.
