Merlin Microseal^™ System (fits Varian^®)

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.

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.

Varian GCs require an inlet adapter and an o-ring in addition to the septum and nut. The septum incorporates a unique design with two sequential seals to provide a much longer life. Order replacement septa, or alternate versions, separately. Not compatible with the Varian 8200 autosampler.

Note: Do not use with beveled tips.
