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.
