What type of end-fitting hardware gives my analytical column a good connection to the LC system? - WKB87727

ENVIRONMENT
- Column connections
- HPLC columns
- XP columns
- ACQUITY UPLC columns
ANSWER
It is important to make the proper column connections, because the chromatographic separation and the subsequent result can be negatively affected if the style of the column end-fitting does not match the existing tubing ferrule settings.
Different manufacturers produce different columns with different end-fitting hardware and internal geometry. Waters manufactures columns with several types of end-fitting designs: Waters-style or Parker-style, and others.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
One of the predominant differences is stem length, shown below, which corresponds to the length of tubing that protrudes beyond the end of the ferrule.
