Capillary Flow Technology

Agilent Capillary Flow Technology (CFT) devices are used for splitting,
heart cutting, backflushing, and reliable zero dead volume connections.
The features of the capillary flow technology make traditionally difficult
connections simple, reliable, and leak free.
The optional CFT switches, splitters, and union accessories install on the
inside of the oven walls. They allow the chromatographer to design very
efficient sample paths using multiple columns or detectors. When used
with Agilent's Backflush Wizard technology, CFT devices can also provide
increased productivity by flushing unwanted compounds backwards off the
column, thereby shortening run times and preventing column
contamination.
