5021-1817 Capillary: a Reliable Component for Critical Medical Analytical Flows
Agilent's 5021-1817 capillary, made of stainless steel, is part of a range of components designed to optimise connections in liquid chromatography systems in medical laboratory environments. Its seamless construction and geometry, with a length of 150 mm and an internal diameter of 0.17 mm, provide ideal compatibility with medical and analytical devices where flow path accuracy is critical.
Agilent ensures that its capillaries are rigorously cut at right angles, with no burrs or distortion of the internal diameter, in order to preserve flow linearity and avoid areas of turbulence or dispersion. In medical analyses, the presence of dead zones or interference can lead to altered results, which is unacceptable in fields such as diagnostics, pharmacokinetics or clinical studies.
Thanks to its seamless design, the 5021-1817 can be customised for integration into HPLC systems, particularly where joints need to be welded or fixed according to the specific requirements of the equipment. This freedom of integration makes this model a popular choice for customised systems or adjustments specific to certain analytical configurations.
The quality of the stainless steel used by Agilent ensures excellent corrosion and abrasion resistance , even under high pressures of up to 1200 bar. The capillary can therefore withstand the mechanical stresses of intensive analytical cycles without compromising the integrity of the connections.
The 5021-1817 capillary is a reliable component designed to ensure a stable analytical flow path, particularly suited to the rigorous requirements of medical analysis.
It can also be used in validation and quality control protocols, where the stability of chromatographic parameters is paramount. Its use in preventive maintenance or targeted replacement ensures the continuity and compliance of analyses in accordance with medical industry standards.
