OPTIC Parts



5 mm x 81 mm liners:
fritted liner
P/No: 2414-1001, Fritted liner, frit on 15 mm
This glass liner contains a medium porosity glass frit made from sintered, deactivated glass. This liner can be used for hot and cold split and splitless injections. In addition, if used with a suitable packing material the liner can be used for large volume injection, thermal desorption, solid sampling and pyrolysis applications. If packed, a bed depth of up to 25 mm can be employed and retained in place with a plug of deactivated glass or quartz wool. This liner is the most commonly used style. I.D. = 3.4 mm, L = 81 mm. Max temperature is 600°C.
(Pack size is 5) (Old P/No. was: A100001)
fritted liner silanized
P/No: 2414-1002, Fritted liner, frit on 15 mm, silanized
Same glass liner as 2414-1001 but treated with InertMask deactivation. I.D. = 3.4 mm, L = 81 mm. Maximum temperature is 320°C.
(Pack size is 5)
necked liner
P/No: 2414-1003, liner for split injections (single necked)
This glass liner is specially made for hot or cold split injections. The liners large internal diameter of 3.4 mm makes for good mixing of the sample with the carrier gas. The liner may be packed with a little glass wool if desired. The bottom of the liner has a small slot to ensure free passage of gas to the split exit. I.D. = 3.4 mm, L = 81 mm. Max temperature is 600°C.
(Pack size is 5) (Old P/No. was: A100092)
splitless liner
P/No: 2414-1005, Empty liner for splitless injections
This glass liner is for hot and cold splitless injection. Injection volumes best 1µl or less. The narrow internal diameter of 1 mm ensures fast transfer of the sample to the column under splitless conditions. We advise this liner for SPME techniques. (not SPME Arrow) I.D. = 1 mm, L = 81 mm. Max temperature is 600°C.

Alternative liner could be 2414-1017.
(Pack size is 5) (Old P/No. was: A100049)
splitless liner silanized
P/No: 2414-1006, Empty liner for splitless injections, silanized
Same glass liner as 2414-1005 but treated with InertMask deactivation. I.D. = 1 mm, L = 81 mm. Maximum temperature is 320°C.
(Pack size is 5)
SPME Arrow Liner
P/No: 2414-1017, Empty liner for SPME Arrow
This glass liner is made for SPME Arrow. The liner has an I.D. of 1.8 mm.
Be sure that the OPTIC has a Top Boss Assembly for PAL SPME Arrow.

This glass liner can also be used for hot and cold splitless injections. I.D. = 1.8 mm, L = 81 mm. Max temperature is 600°C.
(Pack size is 5)
baffeld liner
P/No: 2414-1009, Baffled splitless liner
This glass liner is for hot and cold splitless injection of sample volumes below 6µl (best 1µl or less). The narrow internal diameter of 1 mm ensures fast transfer of the sample to the column under splitless conditions. With this liner the sample is not falling direct onto the bottom of the injector. This liner will give better results for the high boiling components. I.D. = 1 mm, L = 81 mm. Max temperature is 600°C.
(Pack size is 5) (Old P/No. was:A100132)
baffeld liner
P/No: 2414-1010, Baffled splitless liner, silanized

fritted tapered liner
P/No: 2414-1011, Fritted liner on 20 mm with single taper
This glass liner contains a medium porosity glass frit made from sintered, deactivated glass. This liner can be used for hot and cold split and splitless injections. In addition, if used with a suitable packing material the liner can be used for large volume injection, thermal desorption, solid sampling and pyrolysis applications. If packed, a bed depth of up to 25 mm can be employed and retained in place with a plug of deactivated glass or quartz wool. The taper will improve the sensitivity for trace, active samples. I.D. = 3.4 mm, L = 81 mm. Max temperature is 600°C.
(Pack size is 5) (Old P/No. was: L100009)
            Liners for large volume injection

packed inlet liner for LVI
P/No: 2414-1020, Fritted Liner packed with Chromosorb W, pk/5
This glass liner contains a highly deactivated packing which combines a maximum operating temperature of 350°C with a high sample capacity (in excess of 150 µl in most cases). This liner has been found to be suitable for the following classes of compound:
PAHs, Mineral oils, Drugs of abuse. I.D. = 3.4 mm, L = 81 mm.
(Pack size is 5) (Old P/No. was: A100146)
sintered liner
P/No: 2414-1007, Sintered glass liner with taper
This glass liner is both very inert and capable of operation to 600°C. As such it is suitable for the large volume injection of high MW compounds and for compounds which suffer from adsorption. The capacity of the liner is lower than that of a packed liner (about 50 µl, depending upon solvent used). To maximize sample capacity, the liner is best used in combination with a syringe fitted with a dome tipped, side hole needle. I.D. = 3.4 and 1.5 mm, L = 81 mm. This liner can be used up to 600°C
