G1946-20213 – 0.010" Ferrule for Medical Applications in Mass Spectrometry
Agilent's G1946-20213 is a precision ferrule with an inner diameter of 0.010 inches, designed for liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC/MSD) applications, and more specifically for electrospray (ESI) and APCI sources. In these systems, the quality of fluid connections plays a critical role in overall analytical performance. This ferrule ensures the perfect seal and mechanical stability of nebuliser needles, guaranteeing consistent and reproducible spray conditions.
This component is designed for use with G1946-20177 (ESI) or G1946-20097 (APCI) needles, which are integrated into the respective nebulisers. It plays a key role in reducing dead volumes and maintaining system pressure, which are essential for reliable analyses in medical environments, particularly in biomarker testing, drug analysis and spectrometry diagnostics.
In hospital or biomedical laboratory environments, where precision and reproducibility are essential, the G1946-20213 actively contributes to the reliability of the results obtained. Its durable construction ensures compatibility with solvents commonly used in LC/MS analyses, while offering a long service life suitable for regular use. This model is specifically referenced in the needle replacement kits offered by Agilent (G2427A for ESI and G2428A for APCI), highlighting its importance in the maintenance and proper functioning of analytical systems.
The G1946-20213 is therefore a discreet but essential component within the LC/MSD mass analyser ecosystem. It is designed for all professionals in in vitro diagnostics, clinical research and pharmaceutical laboratories who need to guarantee consistent performance from their instruments.
