PicoClear™ Applications

PicoClear™ unions are a very robust and easy-to-use means of connecting tubing, but their usefulness extends beyond simple connections.


Inline filter
Insert an unpacked New Objective IntegraFrit™ into your experiment using a PicoClear union to create an inline metal-free filter that can be visually inspected for contaminants.



Clean IntegraFrit
Unpacked IntegraFrit column (left) coupled to fused-silica tubing (right) using PicoClear.
IntegraFrit clogged with carbon particles
After 2 hours, carbon and other particulates from improperly filtered water are clearly visible at head of frit.


2D Separations and beyond
Take advantage of PicoClear's ™ zero-dead-volume design to connect columns of differing chemistries with virtually no sensitivity loss.



IntegraFrit connected to PicoFrit
C18-packed IntegraFrit™ column (left) coupled to C18-packed PicoFrit® column (right) using PicoClear™. While the PicoFrit column is not cleanly cut, note the perfectly matching IDs and absence of gaps.
Spectra of PF column comapred to PicoFrit coupled to IntegraFrit usng PicoClear union

A 5 cm IntegraFrit™ column connected to a 5 cm PicoFrit® column using a PicoClear union (red) compared to a single 10 cm C18-packed PicoFrit column (green) shows no loss in performance.
