Application

Merlin Microseal^™ System may be used to replace traditional septum to avoid leaking and bleeding caused during operating GC/MS system. It may also be equipped to the injection port during GC analysis for determination of plasticizer N-butylbenzenesulfonamide and the pharmaceutical Ibuprofen in wastewater.

General description

The Merlin Microseal System is a septum-less system that provides very long life. Because there is not a septum to pierce, septum fragments will not be formed and deposited in the inlet liner. The septum contains a series of seals (wiper rib, o-rings, and a duckbill valve) that allow a needle to enter while maintaining a leak-free seal. The septum can be used only with a syringe that has a 23 gauge "blunt tipped" needle, or with an SPME fiber assembly with a 23 gauge needle. The thicker shaft is required to make the necessary contact with the septum seals.

Three septa versions are available: Low Pressure for use with 23 gauge syringe needles, and injection port pressures between 1 and 45 psi. Do not use with syringe needles that have beveled tips. General Purpose for use with 23 gauge syringe needles, and injection port pressures between 3 and 100 psi. Do not use with syringe needles that have beveled tips. SPME for use with 23 gauge SPME fiber assemblies. Do not use with SPME fiber assemblies that have beveled tips.Note: Do not use with beveled tips.
