Joint Analytical Systems GmbH (Germany) has introduced a user-friendly GC/MS interface which enables a 100% tool-free column exchange without MS venting. A narrow, special deactivated transfer tube is used as a connection between the analytical column and the MS source.
Swap’n Go is an easy-to-use, self-installable robust device, which enables the operator to exchange capillary columns fast and simple - completely tool-free and without MS venting. Unscheduled disruption in analytical work due to column exchange is avoided.
The analytical column (200, 250 and 320 μm ID) is fixed only hand-tight to the Swap’n Go adapter by a special designed JAS-Tight nut sealed with a JAS-Tight ferrule. The column is also connected only hand-tight to the S/SL injector by means of a special JAS injector adapter. Instrument-specific systems are available for Agilent and Thermo instruments.
