GC Inlet Maintenance:Restek’s Quick-Reference GuideLiners, septa, inlet seals. when compared to your analytical column, your instrument, or a customerlost due to missed deadlines or inaccurate data, these small consumables carry an almost nonexistentprice. And yet, the impact they can have on your analysis—not to mention your livelihood—is huge:breakdown of active compounds, loss in response, and other performance issues. In extreme cases,improperly selected or poorly maintained inlet supplies can mean the difference between detectingyour compounds or not.With Restek’s guidance and our comprehensive line of high-quality GC inlet supplies, performingproper GC inlet maintenance to help maximize your lab’s uptime and ensure accurate, reproducibledata is as easy as replacing a liner (and a few other items).2www.restek.com/GCacc

Selecting the Right GC Inlet SuppliesUsing the wrong liner or septa can have just as negative an impact on your data as a fouled inlet. So, even ifyou are a seasoned GC veteran, it pays to take the time to be sure that you are using the right GC inlet supplies before worrying about how or when to perform GC inlet maintenance.Inlet LinersIn gas chromatography, the inlet is the first part of the instrument that your sample comes in contact with. Using the right liner will aid insample vaporization; promote efficient, loss-free analyte transfer; and protect your column from contamination—so choosing the correctGC inlet liner is critical for ensuring accurate and precise data. Liners differ in geometric configuration/design, volume, base material,deactivation, and packing. But, choosing the right liner can be greatly simplified by looking at the type of injection. Variations in sampleand method may necessitate a different liner, but the following are great initial selections for any analysis. Split injection:- Topaz Precision split liner with wool. Splitless injection:- Topaz single taper liner with wool. Direct injection:- For semivolatiles or compounds that could be affected by a tailing solvent peak: Topaz Uniliner liner with the holedrilled near the bottom.- For aqueous injections or compounds that elute away from the solvent peak: Topaz Uniliner liner with the holedrilled near the top. Gas samples via sample loop injection:- Topaz straight liner with a 1.0 mm ID. PTV injection:- Instrument-specific Topaz liner with a small inner diameter and at least one baffle or dimple.For more information about liner selection,visit www.restek.com/liner-choicewww.restek.com/GCacc3

SeptaChoosing the right septum for your inlet is even easier. Restek offers severaloptions that are designed to avoid septum bleed and coring, which can damageyour column and your data: For temperatures up to 350 C*:- Thermolite Plus Septa For temperatures up to 400 C*:- Premium Non-Stick BTO Septa When coring is an issue (can create unwanted activity):- Thermolite Plus or Premium Non-Stick BTO Septa withCenterGuide dimple- Merlin Microseal SeptaFor more information choosing the right septum for youranalysis, as well as a handy size chart and septum choice guidelines,visit www.restek.com/septum-choice*For 17 mm inlets, the maximum temperature for Thermolite Plus septa is 300 Cand the maximum temperature for BTO septa is 330 C. For all injectors, minimumrecommended operating temperature for BTO septa is 250 C.Inlet SealsChoosing the right inlet seal is more a matter of convenience and preference than data integrity.As a general rule, however, especially for sensitive or splitless analyses, you want to avoid bare stainless steel and, instead, use highlyinert gold-plated seals to reduce breakdown and adsorption of active compounds.Restek offers several models of gold-plated inlet seals with washerless installation, including the customer favorite Dual Vespel Ringinlet seal. Its patented design features two soft Vespel rings—embedded in both the top and bottom surfaces—to help ensure alow-torque, leak-tight seal, even after repeated temperature cycles.4www.restek.com/GCacc

Preventative GC Inlet MaintenanceOnly after you have confirmed that you are using the right GC inlet supplies is it time to think about GC inlet maintenance. Evenwithin a single industry like environmental testing—let alone across separate industries such as petrochemical, food safety, andclinical diagnostics—there are simply too many variables in samples, injection techniques, instruments, detectors, etc., to be able torecommend a single general schedule to all analysts for replacing all liners, septa, and inlet seals. Your GC inlet maintenance schedulecould be twice a day if you are running particularly dirty samples, or once a year if you are using headspace GC. You need to determineyour preventative maintenance (PM) schedule on an analysis-by-analysis basis.When establishing a PM schedule specific to an analysis, the key term is “preventative.” You are trying to prevent unwanted downtimeby replacing your inlet supplies before you have a problem. This way, you can plan for the downtime and choose a time that is notdisruptive to your lab. You can also avoid lengthy troubleshooting sessions and missed deadlines.Simply keep track of how long it generally takes after maintenance to begin seeing data problems commonly associated with theinlet, and then schedule your PM for that analysis and instrument to occur before data problems tend to arise.Common data problems that can alert you to the need for GC inlet maintenance are: Loss of signal / loss of response Inlet activity Inlet discrimination Inlet leaks (e.g., seals around septa, O-rings, ferrules, etc.) Extraneous signal Contamination- O-ring bleed- Septum particles in the liner- Matrix buildup in the liner (off-gassing) Inlet activity- Analyte breakdown creating new compounds (extra peaks) Distorted signal / deteriorating peak shape (e.g., peak tailing) Inlet activity Inlet leaks (e.g., seals around septa, O-rings, ferrules, etc.)Once you’ve set your preventative maintenance schedule, you will also want to plan ahead for the components you will be replacing andorder your GC inlet supplies in advance. Restek’s chromatography experts recommend replacing septa, liners, O-rings, and inlet sealsat the same time when you perform GC inlet maintenance. After all, you could unknowingly have issues with multiple components,and the cost of each of these items is minimal compared to having to take your instrument offline more often than you needed.Which One to Choose.Do you need additional assistance with selecting the right GC inletsupplies or with GC inlet maintenance?

Inlet Supplies for Agilent GCsMerlin Microseal Septafor Agilent GCs Allow operation from 3 to 100 psi (general-purpose Microseal septa) or 1 to 45 psi (low-pressure Microsealsepta). 400 C max injection port temperature.The advantages of the Merlin Microseal septum include elimination of septum coring; longer life; andconsistent, low needle-insertion force. The Microseal septum incorporates two separate sealing mechanisms. These sliding seals eliminate septum coring and the resulting accumulation of septum crumbs inthe injection port liner.The Microseal septum uses a 23-gauge (0.63 mm, 0.025") needle or probe with a blunt, truncated conicaltip. Since the syringe plunger end details are determined by manual or autosampler compatibility, often aremovable needle syringe is an effective way to match both of these requirements. No adapter is requiredfor the Agilent inlet. Installation is simple, requiring no modification of the injection port.Note: Merlin Microseal septa require a23-gauge (0.63 mm, 0.025") needle orprobe with a blunt, truncated conicaltip.

Merlin Microseal Septafor PerkinElmer GCs400 C max injection port temperature.The advantages of the Merlin Microseal septum include elimination of septum coring, longer life, andconsistent low needle insertion force. The Microseal septum incorporates two separate sealing mechanisms. These sliding seals eliminate septum coring and the resulting accumulation of septum crumbs inthe injection port liner.The Microseal septum uses a 23-gauge (0.63 mm, 0.025") needle or probe with a blunt, truncated conicaltip. Since the syringe plunger end details are determined by manual or autosampler compatibility, often aremovable needle syringe is an effective way to match both of these requirements. Installation is simple,requiring no modification of the injection port.DescriptionGeneral Purpose Kit for PerkinElmer GCs (3 to 100 psi)Includes: nut (1); adapter (1); O-ring; and general-purpose (#410) Microseals (2)Merlin#Similar to 2281522782Note: Merlin Microseal septa require a23-gauge (0.63 mm, 0.025") needle orprobe with a blunt, truncated conicaltip.
