Installing & Removing the NanoShield® Reverse-Flush Trap on your UHPLC

Installing & Removing the NanoShield® Reverse-Flush Trap on your UHPLC



This article demonstrates how to install the NanoShield™ Reverse-Flush Trap on your UHPLC. The NanoShield™ 5 cm × 100 µm trap is designed for on-valve use with reverse-flush (backward) operation only. Using it in forward-flush mode may compromise performance.

For optimal fitting, installation requires two short capillaries (such as Thermo Scientific™ nanoViper 30 µm ID × 10 cm) and a 1/4 inch spanner.
