Nexus™ Universal Nebulizer Connection Kit

The Nexus™ Universal Connection Kit is a one-size-fits-all nebulizer connection kit that enables you to use any^1,2 of Glass Expansion's industry-leading concentric nebulizers with the sample introduction configuration of your choice, including switching valves, chromatographs (LC, HPLC, IC, etc.), and other high-performance accessories.

Nexus™ Universal Connection Kit Compatibility

Switching Valves:

Simple and reliable custom-length connections to all high-throughput valve or syringe-drive systems.

Speciation Analysis:

Zero-dead-volume and secure, high-pressure connection for hyphenated techniques, such as LC-ICP-MS, HPLC-ICP-MS, IC-ICP-MS, and FFF-ICP-MS.

High-Efficiency Sample Introduction System (HE-SIS)

Connect to Glass Expansion's HE-SIS, which provides up to 95% transport efficiency for a variety of applications. See Flyer in the Literature section below for more information.

High-Precision Analysis

Create a high-pressure seal when performing self-aspiration for the most stable sample uptake and delivery.

Product Overview:

These easy-to-install kits are completely inert and configured for 1.6 mm (1/16") OD tubing, with PTFE ferrules that reliably seal with all commonly used capillary tubing materials, such as PFA, PTFE, FEP and PEEK. They provide a secure, zero-dead-volume direct connection to the liquid interface of a Glass Expansion nebulizer.

FT-16-8 is compatible with Glass Expansion's glass concentric nebulizers¹, which include the Conikal, MicroMist, MicroMist HE, SeaSpray, and Slurry.

¹The FT-16-8 Nexus™ Universal Nebulizer Connection Kit is designed specifically for all glass U-Series nebulizers. It is not compatible with the older EzyFit nebulizers.

FT-16-8-X was specifically designed for use with inert nebulizers², which includes the DuraMist and OpalMist.

²The FT-16-8-X Nexus™ Universal Nebulizer Connection Kit is designed specifically for inert U-Series nebulizers.

For a quick custom-length connection to your existing switching valve, use P/N 70-803-1870 or 70-803-1871 in combination with the Nexus Universal Connection Kit. A 700mm length capillary tubing, in 0.25mm ID or 0.5mm ID that can be cut to your desired length with a 1/4-28 fitting and ferrule included, sold in pack of 3 (compatible with most high through put valves on the market).

For connecting nebulizers to your Nexus™ Universal Nebulizer Connection Kit when using the HE-SIS, the Sample Connecting Line Assembly, P/N 70-803-2112, is most commonly used due to the very low sample flow rates used in single-cell, single-particle, and nano-particle applications.
