AIT Smart HPLC Safety Caps

AIT Smart Caps

Whatever HPLC/UHPLC method is used in the laboratory, choosing the right solvents, safety handling equipment and filtration method is a very important factor to consider when working to achieve the best analytical results. Greyhound Chromatography, experts in the field of Chromatography supply, are delighted to represent the most valued manufacturers of HPLC Products, AIT France; Solvent Safety Caps, Biosolve; Solvents and Formulations for HPLC/UHPLC/Mass Spectrometry/SFC Solvents for Gas Chromatography/ Reference Standard Solvents for Gas Chromatography and Greyhound Chromatography's Q-Fil Syringe Filters and Filter Membranes. Today’s High Tech laboratory environment demands the best results, achieved using the latest safety and production solutions. Combined with the best consumables and equipment HPLC is a powerful tool in analysis, a must for today’s results driven, cost conscious laboratory.

AIT Smart Waste Caps reduce harmful substance emissions from waste bottles by up to 95% and are available to fit a wide range of waste bottle sizes, including drums, either directly or through the use of a suitable adapter. They allow waste solvents from an HPLC to enter the waste bottle but prevent solvent vapours from escaping into the laboratory, by use of an activated charcoal filter cartridge. Smart Waste Caps are available to fit waste solvent containers with a wide range of threads as well as barrels of up to 200 liters in size, (custom manufacturing for other applications is available on request).

The use of Smart Healthy Caps can reduce harmful solvent evaporation from solvent inlet reservoirs by up to 80%, protecting health and keeping the HPLC eluent concentration accurate for several days. This is achieved by the use of a one-way check valve which allows air to enter the bottle for pressure equalization, but eliminates solvent vapour emissions.

Protect health
Minimise solvent evaporation
Maintain accurate solvent concentration
No external contamination of eluent

Smart Healthy Caps also protect solvents against external contamination and are available to fit a wide range of bottle types and sizes. They can be supplied with 1 to 5 outlet ports to accommodate multiple HPLCs. Tubing (1/ 8˝ or 1/ 16˝ od.) is securely fixed with use of the AIT universal fitting which requires no ferrule or flanging of the tube.

AIT Safety Funnels can be installed on a can or a barrel of residual solvent. A funnel is practical, you can add an activated charcoal cartridge if the solvent is stored in a non-ventilated room. The activated charcoal cartridge prevents the creation of an overpressure in the can or barrel, if it is exposed to heat.
	Sink For Biological Laboratories The sink can be used to make colorations, or for a variety of other purposes. Outflow can be connected to a waste container . It is possible to add a safety funnel, allowing you to avoid any decanting.
Retention Trays & Cans Avoid accidental overflows, AIT offers two different types of retention tray, with a grid or duckboard to keep the can dry.
