Seals, Optimize Technologies

Piston seals are designed to offer reliable performance in a variety of operating conditions.

• Polyethylene-based seals are designed for applications where mostly aqueous or buffered-aqueous mobile phases are used
• Graphetized PTFE seals are designed for applications where mobile phases are mostly organic or where chemical compatibility is of primary concern
• Reliable performance in a variety of operating conditions

Installing a piston seal can be a tricky undertaking. A relatively small seal must be fit into the seal cavity in such a way to ensure that it is pressed in evenly without distortion or damage. The Optimize Seal Forming/ Insertion Tool Kit was specifically designed to aid in this endeavor. This kit contains three tools to accommodate all of your HPLC/ UHPLC piston seals. One end has a beveled cavity for seal forming, while the other is an insertion support for perfect seal installation. Also included with each kit are complete instructions for maximizing seal life and a solvent compatibility guide to aid in prudent seal material selection.

OPTI-SEAL® UHMW-PE polyethylene-based seals are designed for applications where mostly aqueous or buffered-aqueous mobile phases are used. ITB™ graphetized PTFE seals are designed for applications where mobile phases are mostly organic or where chemical compatibility is of primary concern.
