nanoViper Connections

UltiMate 3000 RSLCnano Standard Applications Guide
The experimental conditions for each application are described together
with schematics, installation tips, examples and results.
NanoViper (Figure 1) is a fingertight high-pressure fitting that is virtually
dead volume free by design and rated for backpressures up to 1200 bar.
All high-pressure fittings used in the applications on the UltiMate 3000
RSLCnano system use nanoViper. The fittings are factory assembled to
ensure quality and prevent experimental failure due to bad connections.

1. Install nanoViper using the removable knurled black nut.
2. Do not overtighten connections (the general guideline is fingertight
plus an additional one eighth of a turn).
3. Remove the knurled black nut once the fitting is tight.
