BGB Chromatography Accessories and Supplies
Search the accessory table by category, instrument use, material or information required for part-number identification. Accessory catalogue numbers are highly configuration-specific and should be matched to the instrument model and existing fitting or consumable with Akira’s assistance.
| Category | Product types | Application | Key specification needed | Part number |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GC accessories | Ferrules, nuts, seals, connectors, liners, septa and tools | GC inlet, detector and column installation | Instrument model, ferrule material, column OD and fitting type | Reach Akira with the instrument model and required size |
| LC accessories | Fittings, unions, adapters, tubing, sample loops and guard systems | HPLC/UHPLC fluidic connections and protection | Thread type, tubing OD/ID, pressure rating and material | Reach Akira with the required configuration |
| Fused-silica tubing | Coated and deactivated capillary tubing | Transfer lines, retention gaps and guard applications | Internal diameter, external diameter, length and deactivation | Reach Akira with the required dimensions |
| Vials and closures | Autosampler vials, caps, septa and inserts | Sample storage and autosampler injection | Volume, neck style, glass type, cap and septum | Reach Akira with the required vial format |
| Sample preparation | Filters, SPE and purification consumables | Filtration, extraction and cleanup | Membrane or sorbent, format, pore size and sample volume | Reach Akira with the intended application |
| Syringes | Manual and autosampler-compatible syringes | GC/LC sample introduction | Volume, needle gauge, length, point style and instrument | Reach Akira with the required syringe specification |
Accessory compatibility support
Accessory selection depends on thread type, tubing dimensions, ferrule geometry, pressure rating, temperature and instrument model. Send photographs and existing part numbers through the contact page for identification support.
Frequently Asked Questions
Technical answers for common BGB column selection, compatibility and quotation questions.
Which accessories are essential for LC column installation?
Typical requirements include compatible tubing, fittings, ferrules, unions and low-dead-volume connectors. The exact parts depend on instrument brand, tubing material and connection geometry.
How do incorrect fittings affect chromatography?
Incorrect fittings can create leaks, dead volume, distorted peaks, pressure instability and damaged column end fittings. Connections should match both the instrument and column hardware.
When should a guard column be used?
A guard column is useful when samples contain particulates, strongly retained matrix components or contaminants that may shorten analytical-column life.
How do I choose the correct GC ferrule?
Ferrule material and internal diameter should match the column outer diameter, injector or detector fitting, temperature range and detector requirements.
What is the purpose of a zero-dead-volume union?
A zero- or low-dead-volume union joins tubing while minimizing unswept volume that can cause peak broadening and carryover.
Can accessories from different brands be mixed?
Some parts are dimensionally compatible, but thread type, ferrule geometry, tubing size and pressure rating must be documented. Brand-to-brand compatibility should never be assumed.
What details are needed to quote chromatography accessories?
Provide the instrument model, accessory type, connection size, tubing dimensions, material, quantity and any existing part number or photograph.
Can Akira help identify an unknown fitting or connector?
Yes. Clear photographs, dimensions, instrument model and the location where the part is used can help narrow down the correct replacement.
