20130233053 | Torque Limited Fitting - A torque limited fitting is provided having a head and a body, which in certain embodiments may be assembled by an operator. The body of the torque limited fitting has a passageway therethrough for receiving and removably holding tubing. The torque limited fitting may be adapted for use with a flat bottom port, such as in an analytical instrument, like liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, ion chromatography, or in in vitro diagnostic systems. | 09-12-2013 |
20140123819 | Torque Limiting Tool and Methods - A torque limiting tool is provided that has a handle and a body, which in certain embodiments may be assembled by an operator. The body of the torque limiting tool has a side portion with a tubing slot for allowing tubing to exit the torque limiting tool. The handle and body have one or more abutments, designed to allow the torque limiting tool to deliver a maximum amount of torque. The torque limiting tool may be used with an adapter to allow coupling with a variety of fitting sizes and shapes. The torque limiting tool may be adapted for use with a flat bottom port, such as in an analytical instrument, like liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, ion chromatography, or in in vitro diagnostic systems. | 05-08-2014 |
20140260534 | Biocompatible Filter - An improved biocompatible filter for use in liquid chromatography systems such as HPLC or UHPLC The present disclosure addresses the problem of particles bypassing a filter in a liquid chromatography application by design features in the interface between the frit filter and ring that form an improved seal between the ring and frit and prevent leakage around the filter in high measure chromatography. Design features also include frit filters with an internal particle size gradient for pre-column separation activity during filtration. | 09-18-2014 |
20140260564 | Connector with structural reinforcement and biocapatible fluid passageway - A connector with a biocompatible fluid passageway and method for manufacturing thereof is described. The biocompatible connector may be used in an analytical instrument (AI) system as a union, an adapter, a tee, a cross, a manifold, a valve, or for other fittings or components. The connector has a reinforcement insert and a biocompatible molding covering portions of the reinforcement insert. The reinforcement insert has a first portion, a second portion, and a middle portion between the first portion and the second portion. The first and second portions have threaded sections and each have a plurality of non-threaded sections. For a given portion, the junction of the non-threaded sections forms a lip by which to prevent the molded material from flowing into the threaded sections. In certain embodiments, an interior web is used in the reinforcement insert to provide additional structural support. | 09-18-2014 |
20140261838 | Column filter retainer connector with structural reinforcement and biocompatible fluid passageway - A connector with a biocompatible fluid passageway to be used as a column filter retainer and the method for manufacturing it is described. The connector has a reinforcement insert and a biocompatible molding covering portions of the reinforcement insert. The reinforcement insert has a first portion, a second portion, and a middle portion between the first portion and the second portion. The first and second portions have threaded sections and each have a plurality of non-threaded sections. For a given portion, the junction of the non-threaded sections forms a lip by which to prevent the molded material from flowing into the threaded sections. In certain embodiments, an interior web is used in the reinforcement insert to provide additional structural support. | 09-18-2014 |
