How to increase peak areas and reduce detection limits by up to 300%

Customer research by SGE revealed that many GC users aren't aware of how important it is to use the correct  inlet liner - nor of how it contributes to the analysis. The right inlet liner and injection parameter can in fact increase peak areas and reduce detection limits by up to 300%*. With its enhanced inlet liner range, SGE has taken steps to make it simple for gas chromatographers to select the correct liner.

  • They are colour-coded by geometry makes it easy to choose.
  • They contain o-rings so are easy to use.
  • Certified deactivation contributes to confidence in your analysis.

SGE has also developed an interactive liner selection tool to make it even easier to choose the right liner. Click here to find out more and download the inlet liner selection tool. The tool includes a handy Vapor Volume Calculator that checks if you are injecting too much for a particular liner. It can help avoid ghost peaks, injector contamination, and quantity errors associated with flashback.
