White Paper | Selecting the right HPLC SafetyCaps
Practical Guide to Configuration, Installation, Troubleshooting and Maintenance.
Overview
Together with the solvent bottle, supply tubing, fittings, blind plugs, air valve and suction filters, an HPLC Safety Cap forms a controlled closed solvent supply system. This guide explains how to select and coordinate these components for analytical, preparative, PFAS-sensitive, and moisture- or oxidation-sensitive applications.
The focus is on unambiguous identification of the bottle thread, application-specific material selection, correct matching of tubing and fittings, safe pressure equalization, proper installation, systematic troubleshooting and preventive maintenance.
- Selection based on application, eluent, bottle thread, number of tubing lines and flow rate
- PTFE as the proven standard and a coordinated PFAS-free GreenLine material strategy
- Safe installation using suitable fittings, blind plugs and fully immersed suction filters
- Rapid diagnosis of typical faults using clear priority levels
- Preventive replacement of the air valve and application-dependent maintenance of other components
