esigned for use with any HPLC column, the unique floating stem design of the OPTI-GUARD
®
1 mm automatically
adjusts to any manufacturer's tube stop depth for a zero-dead-volume connection every time. No larger than a stan-
dard fitting, the OPTI-GUARD
®
1 mm requires no special connecting hardware or tools for installation.
The elegant design of the OPTI-GUARD
®
1 mm also lends to its effectiveness as a low-impact guard column. Special
packing materials are selected to complement the OPTI-GUARD's narrowbore ID, providing effective protection for your
analytical column without influencing your chromatography. Fully disposable, simply switch the OPTI-GUARD
®
1 mm as
needed to maintain effective column protection.

3 mm
T
he OPTI-GUARD
®
3 mm maintains the tool-free connectivity of the OPTI-GUARD
®
1 mm, but incorporates a cartridge-based
format to allow for a larger bed with more capacity. The two part holder is designed for use with any analytical column
providing vital protection from dirty samples and strongly retained contaminants. An auto-adjusting stem conforms
perfectly to any tube stop depth resulting in a perfect zero-dead-volume connection. Connecting the OPTI-GUARD
®
requires no extra tubing, maintaining the minimal impact philosophy that has made the OPTI-GUARD
®
line so popu-
lar. As always, custom packings are available in the material of your choice.

TM
Guard Column system is a high-performance, cartridge-based guard system suitable for use with any silica-
based analytical column. Some cartridge-based guard column products offer convenience with a price - higher internal
volumes. At Optimize Technologies, we refuse to compromise performance for anything. OPTI-LYNX
TM
utilizes low dis-
persion component interfaces to keep extra-column volume to a minimum; the connection paths to the guard cartridge have a
total internal volume of less than 2 µL. You get quick-connect convenience and low dispersion, all in one package.
The OPTI-LYNX
TM
Guard Column system fits any analytical column with 10-32 ports. Start with our OPTI-LYNX
