Agilent Ultra Inert Flow Path

Installing an Agilent Gas Clean filter removes contaminants, ensuring that the highest-quality gas flows - leak free -  through the system. The benefits to you include flow path inertness and column integrity. Highly sensitive indicators provide maximum instrument protection

Agilent Ultra Inert inlet liners, with or without glass wool, are certified to provide low surface activity and highly reproducible sample vaporization. They facilitate best-in-class delivery for active analytes.

Portions of the split/splitless inlet that come in contact with the sample undergo the same proprietary deactivation treatment as Ultra Inert gold seals and UltiMetal flexible ferrules. The result: a continuous inert surface throughout the flow path.

Ultra Inert chemistry on top of gold plating reduces active analyte adsorption while ensuring a leak-free seal.

Agilent UltiMetal Plus Flexible Metal ferrules are the only ferrules with a deactivated surface that maintains the inertness of the GC flow path. Agilent gold-plated Flexible Metal ferrules are recommended for CFT connections.

Inert CFT provides increased GC system flexibility while making reliable, leak-free, capillary connections. Flow splitters and Deans switches enable multiple detectors, peak cutting, and multidimensional GC analysis for increased resolution of trace compounds in complex matrices.

GC column inertness is critical as columns contribute toward the largest surface area within the flow path. Every Agilent J&W Ultra Inert GC column is rigorously tested to ensure consistently high inertness and low bleed, for optimal delivery of analytes to the detector.

Smart ID keys provide information on column, configuration, age, number of injections, use, and temperature limits.

The innovative spring-driven piston continuously presses against the ferrule, maintaining a leak-free seal—critical to the integrity of the GC flow path.

Universally fit all GC platforms, and both capillary column and packed column detector body.

An inert ion source ensures the integrity of your analytes reaching the detector.

The IDP-3 oil-free vacuum pump is not part of the GC flow path. However, it ensures reliable MS detector performance—critical for accurate, reproducible results. Agilent IDP-3 pumps are oil-free, providing a quieter and cleaner laboratory environment compared to standard oil rotary vane pumps.
