SilFlow™ Stainless Steel Micro-fluidic Platform

Improves your Gas Chromatography Connectivity

SGE's SilFlow™ is an innovation in design and fabrication resulting in a highly efficient and reliable micro fluidic platform that improves your GC connectivity to enable maximum chromatography performance. SilFlow is a microchannel device (MCD) with options for 3 port GC splitters (allowing flow splitting options with three different configurations), 4 port GC splitters (offering similar configuration flexibility as the 3 port solution), and a Dean's switch MCD, perfect for multidimensional analyses.

Some suggested application configurations for use with SGE's SilFlow splitters.

Features

Chemically Inert

Enabled by SGE's expertise in surface chemistry, SilFlow features chemically deactivated stainless steel channels avoiding active sites experienced with conventional connections
SilFlow can be incorporated into your system without impacting your chromatography

Low Dead Volume Connections

Conventional graphite or vespel ferrules cannot be used with the SilFlow MCD as the dimensional stability is not adequate and there is a risk of contaminating the channels
SilTite™ FingerTite metal ferrules result in a reliable zero dead volume connection, giving you optimized peak shapes

Superb Operational Stability

Pressure Capability - The SilFlow system can be operated at pressures greater than 25,000 psi (170,000 kPa)
Thermal Lag - SilFlow tracks oven temperature up to 20°C/min. The design of SilFlow alleviates cold spots and sample condensation
Maximum Temperature - No practical temperature limit. Limited only by the temperative rating of the GC column being used - ≤ 420°C

Easy to Install and Leak Free

SilFlow kits incorporate SilTite™ FingerTite fittings that are easy to set up and can be tightened using finger force to achieve a perfect, reliable seal, even for the most sensitive MS systems - no wrenches required
Install kits - include SilFlow™ micro-channel device, SilTite™ FingerTite tool, mounting bracket, appropriately sized ferrules, nuts, and blanking ferrules.

SilFlow™ 4 Port Splitter GC

The SilFlow™ four port splitter has the added flexibility for incorporating additional gas flows (such as in back flushing) or adding additional detector capability. The four port splitter can function like a three port splitter simply by blocking off one of the ports.

SilFlow™ GC Dean's Switch

The SilFlow™ Deans Switch MCD is specifically designed for GC x GC configurations where separations take place on a first dimension GC column and analytes of interest are further resolved on a second dimension GC column. The design of the MCD allows for effective modulation between these two dimensions using and auxiliary gas flow.
