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, two short capillaries are required, such as Thermo Scientific™ nanoViper 30 µm ID × 10 cm capillaries (Part No. 164948).
