OPTI-LYNX™ Micro Holders

OPTI-LYNX™ Micro Holders provide the quick-connect holder configurations used with OPTI-LYNX Micro Trap Cartridges. Two holder options are available: Direct Connect and In-Line (BC).

The OPTI-LYNX Micro hand-tight quick-connect system is rated to 6,000 psi (400 bar). The system uses quarter-turn operation with no tools required and is designed for low-backpressure operation.

OPTI-LYNX Micro trap cartridges are biocompatible and bi-directional. The cartridges share the same external cartridge dimensions, allowing cartridges with different packed-bed dimensions and porosities to be used with the same OPTI-LYNX Micro holder hardware.

Standard OPTI-LYNX Micro cartridge bed volumes are 4 µL, 10 µL, 20 µL, and 40 µL. OPTI-LYNX Micro product information describes standard and custom packings. See OPTI-LYNX Micro Trap Cartridges for detailed current cartridge configuration and purchasing options.

OPTI-LYNX Micro supports on-line and off-line sample clean-up and pre-concentration. Examples include separating a peptide digest from its matrix for further analysis and preparing a dilute small-molecule sample for LC injection without sample loss. OPTI-LYNX Micro trap cartridges may be loaded and regenerated repeatedly.
