GE Life Sciences MidiSpin Adapter 28-9232-44 Pack of 10 Supplies

Description

Product Overview

The GE Life Sciences MidiSpin Adapter series is engineered to provide a seamless interface between chromatography columns and the broader liquid chromatography system. Each adapter in the 28-9232-44 model features precision‑machined stainless‑steel components that guarantee a leak‑free seal, even under high‑pressure conditions typical of modern LC methods. The compact form factor minimizes dead volume, preserving peak integrity and ensuring reproducible results across multiple runs. Designed for compatibility with a wide range of LC columns, these adapters simplify method development by eliminating the need for custom fittings or adapters. The pack includes ten individually wrapped units, each inspected for dimensional accuracy and surface finish, delivering consistent performance straight out of the box. Manufactured in Sweden under strict ISO‑9001 quality controls, the adapters reflect GE Healthcare Bio Sciences’ commitment to durability, chemical resistance, and user‑friendly design.

Usage

In a typical laboratory setting, the MidiSpin adapters are installed between the column inlet and the injector or detector manifold. Their universal thread dimensions allow quick swapping of columns during method optimization, saving valuable bench time. The adapters perform reliably in a variety of solvents, including aqueous buffers, organic modifiers, and aggressive acids or bases, making them suitable for both reversed‑phase and ion‑exchange applications. Researchers in pharmaceutical, environmental, and academic labs benefit from the adapters’ ability to maintain column integrity during high‑throughput screening, where frequent column changes are routine. Because the adapters are lightweight and compact, they fit easily into standard LC instrument racks without obstructing other components. Proper installation involves aligning the adapter’s keying notch with the column’s corresponding groove, tightening the lock nut to the recommended torque, and verifying a pressure‑tight seal before initiating the run.

Why Choose Us

FAQ

What solvents are the MidiSpin adapters compatible with?

The adapters are rated for use with a broad range of solvents commonly employed in liquid chromatography, including water, methanol, acetonitrile, isopropanol, and buffered acidic or basic solutions. Their stainless‑steel construction resists corrosion from most organic and aqueous mixtures, though extremely aggressive acids or bases should be avoided unless specifically approved by the manufacturer.

Can the adapters be used with high‑pressure applications?

Yes. Each adapter is pressure‑tested to withstand up to 150 bar (approximately 2,175 psi), which covers the requirements of most high‑performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra‑high‑performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) methods. Proper installation and torque specifications must be followed to maintain the rated pressure tolerance.

How do I install the adapters without damaging the column?

Begin by inspecting the column and adapter for any debris. Align the adapter’s keying notch with the column’s corresponding groove, then hand‑tighten the lock nut. Use a calibrated torque wrench to apply the recommended torque (typically 5–7 Nm). Verify the seal by performing a low‑pressure leak check before increasing system pressure.

What warranty coverage is provided?

GE Life Sciences offers a one‑year limited warranty that covers any manufacturing defects in material or workmanship. The warranty does not extend to damage caused by improper installation, misuse, or exposure to unsupported chemicals. Customers can contact GE technical support to initiate a warranty claim.

Is there technical support available for method development?

Absolutely. GE provides access to a global network of application scientists who can assist with method optimization, troubleshooting, and best‑practice recommendations for using the MidiSpin adapters in various chromatographic modes. Support is available via phone, email, or through the GE online portal.
