OPTI-LYNX™ Micro Trap Cartridges provide a choice of packed-bed chemistries for on-line or off-line sample clean-up and pre-concentration in LC and LC/MS workflows. The biocompatible, bi-directional cartridges use a compact, hand-tight quarter-turn connection with a compatible OPTI-LYNX Micro holder. The system is rated to 6,000 psi (400 bar).
Choose the packing for the separation or clean-up method first. Then check operating pressure, sample load and bed volume before selecting the available cartridge configuration.

A documented use is separating a peptide digest from its sample matrix before further analysis. OPTI-LYNX Micro offers a Peptide phase; select it according to the method's retention and recovery requirements.
Another documented use is preparing a dilute small-molecule sample for LC injection. Available phase labels to evaluate include Small Molecule, C18AQ and C18; the right choice depends on the analyte and solvent conditions.
The product selector also lists Protein, SCX, SAX, NID and other phases. Confirm the required retention mechanism before choosing a phase or applying a method developed for another packing.
Phase names identify available packing options, not guaranteed substitutes for application-specific chemistries in another trap family. For method guidance, see Sample Concentration & Desalting, Detergent Removal and the Trap Chemistry Reference.
Standard packed-bed volumes are 4, 10, 20 and 40 µL. Choose the bed volume with the sample amount, loading conditions and target recovery in mind. Bed volume is not the liquid sample volume or a guaranteed analyte capacity.
All four bed-volume configurations use the OPTI-LYNX Micro holder system. Choose the In-Line (BC) or Direct Connect holder for your plumbing arrangement, then select the offered phase and bed-volume combination on this product page. Standard cartridges are supplied in packs of five; custom packing may be discussed with Optimize.

Suggested load rates are guidance; confirm the loading conditions for your packing and method. The bed volumes shown are packed-bed volumes, not guaranteed sample capacities.
Current selectable phase labels include:
Peptide, Protein, Small Molecule, NID, C18, C18AQ, C8, C4, SCX, SAX, DVB, DVB/SCX, Cyano and Custom.
Available packing and size combinations are controlled by the product options above. Similar phase names do not by themselves establish identical selectivity or validated application performance across different trap families. Compare trap chemistry names.
