Agilent Flexible Metal ferrules provide a leak-free seal using less torque, reducing column breakage and securing an inert flowpath.
- Novel design stainless steel ferrule
- Reduced mass and stiffness giving flexibility to gently compress around column, reducing both column breakage and damage to the fitting common with other metal ferrules
- Tighter ID tolerances. Accommodates a wider range of column tubing, reducing scrap and allowing consistent seals
- Wide opening – and new dial pack design allows Touchless installation as column is threaded through ferrule easily
- UltiMetal Plus deactivation
- Chemical deactivation provides inert surface for analysis of active analytes at trace levels
- Part of the Agilent Inert Flow Path, these ferrules are recommended for inlet and detector usage
- Gold-plated ferrules
- Soft, forming nature of the gold coating, these ferrules help prevent damaged columns due oxygen leakage from microscratches in your CFT device
They’re also incredibly easy to install, with no re-tightening or additional leak checking necessary! While not recommended for inlet and detector usage, they are designed for Capillary Flow Technology devices - recommended for CFT backflush, effluent splitting, retention gap connections, GC by GC, Dean switch, or LTM column connections. Visual distinction. Physically unique design for each part number within the family prevents inventory mix-ups, increasing confidence. Family of ferrules – a set of ferrules with hole sizes to accommodate all Agilent capillary columns, including UltiMetal columns, plus a no hole, or plug ferrule to address all application needs.
Agilent UltiMetal Plus and gold-plated Flexible Metal ferrules are composed of stainless steel and coated to ensure complete inertness. Their unique mechanical design ensures a tight-leak free connection. Each sized Flexible Metal ferrule is uniquely designed to prevent inventory mixups, and to help you find the ferrule you need quickly. Put an end to frustration about GC capillary column connections! With the novel design of our proprietary Flexible Metal ferrule, you can confidently make leak free column connections. For inert inlet and detector connections, Agilent recommends using our UltiMetal Plus coated ferrules. While the gold-plated ferrules ensure a tight, leak-free connection with your capillary flow technology (CFT) devices. Thanks to the soft, forming nature of gold, these ferrules prevent microleaks caused by scratches and striations in a used CFT device. These top notch metal ferrules fix the problems of column breakage, leaky connections and damaged fittings experienced with other metal ferrules, while providing key benefits – ease of use and inertness!
