Original OPTI-LYNX™ Trap Cartridges combine the original OPTI-LYNX quarter-turn quick-connect system with packed-bed cartridges for on-line or off-line sample cleanup and preconcentration. Standard packed-bed volumes are 4 µL, 10 µL, 20 µL, 40 µL, and 100 µL.
Original OPTI-LYNX Trap Cartridges are currently orderable and are planned for discontinuation. A replacement product is planned, but the specific replacement has not yet been identified.
The original OPTI-LYNX quarter-turn quick-connect connection/system is rated to 6,000 psi. This pressure rating should not be interpreted as an independent cartridge-only rating.
Each package contains five OPTI-LYNX Trap Cartridges. The cartridges may be loaded and regenerated repeatedly.
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.
Custom packing is available by request. Contact Optimize Technologies for custom packing configuration and ordering. Custom is not a normal self-service online purchase option.
Published OPTI-LYNX capacity guidance: 16 µg for 4 µL, 40 µg for 10 µL, 80 µg for 20 µL, 160 µg for 40 µL, and 400 µg for 100 µL. These values are selection-guide guidance and should not be treated as guaranteed application-specific capacity.
