Merlin Microseal™ by Greyhound Chromatography
- The Merlin MicrosealTM from Greyhound Chromatography is a microvalve alternative to the conventional silicone rubber septa used in gas chromatography (GC). Its unique design gives it high pressure capability and resistance to wear which results in long life and excellent chromatographic performance. The Microseal is available for all major GC manufacturers’ instruments.
All 23 gauge Microseals are compatible with the standard adapters Agilent, Thermo Scientific, PerkinElmer, Shimadzu, Varian, Brucker, Scion.
Microseals for 26 gauge or 23-26 gauge Tapered Needles are compatible with the standard adapters from all of the above manufacturers.
Microseals for use with 23 gauge Needle:
- General Purpose Microseal (P/N MM-410) - This Microseal is recommended for use in most GC applications with injection port pressures between 3 and 100 psi (20 - 690 Kpa). The General Purpose Microseal is the best choice for most GC applications.
- Low Pressure Microseal (P/N MM-310) - This is recommended for injection port pressures between 1 and 45 psi (7 -310 Kpa). Particularly useful for fast GC/MS applications with 530 micron columns.
- SPME Microseal (P/N MM-21-01) - This Microseal was developed for 23 gauge SPME probes, which have a square end instead of the cone shaped tip characteristic of syringe needles. These probes can cause additional wear and this version provides extended lifetime for SPME.
P/N 610 - 26 gauge Microseal - This Microseal is compatible with 26 gauge and 23-26 gauge tapered needles and can be used for injection port pressures between 3 and 100 psi (20 - 690 kPa). It is recommended for most 26 gauge users.
Gas chromatography
• Eliminates septum coring and crumbling into the injection port liner
• Reliable performance during extended runs
• O-ring detail seals needle during injection
• Duckbill seals more tightly at higher pressures
• Low insertion force for easy manual injections
