Using Restek’s unique EZ Twist Top® Injection Port and Restek Cool Tools (Weldment Removal Tool and Septum Nut Removal Tool), you can reduce maintenance time and frustration, and eliminate tangled gas lines and damage that leads to gas leaks, while avoiding direct contact with hot metal and glass surfaces.
Peak shape degradation, poor reproducibility, sample decomposition, and ghost peaks all are associated with using a dirty liner. Frequent septum replacement prevents fragmentation and leaks. The gas lines are attached to the EZ Twist Top® Shell Weldment (bottom) instead of the weldment (top). What makes this product so innovative is that the gas lines are under the GC cover and do not interfere with routine injection port maintenance. To remove the weldment and access the liner, simply slip the Weldment Removal Tool (included in the complete injection port kit) over the weldment, twist, and remove the weldment. For speed and efficiency, the weldment stays secured in the tool until you are ready to reattach it. Changing inlet liners in original equipment injection ports was complicated by the gas lines and sampling tray. Restek's injection port makes changing the liner a quick and simple task.
Certifications: Injection port maintenance should be performed prior to installing any capillary column, and on a routine basis, based on the number of injections made and the cleanliness of the samples.
