Single-use Flow Cells Tri-clamp Series

Single-use cells are used for analyzing and monitoring the absorbance of liquids passing through the cell, where UV light is led from the detector and back using SMA 905 optical cables. This is designed as a cost-effective solution for applications, where there is a need to use a new cell for each separation to avoid cross-contamination and where it is impossible to wash and re-use the cells. These single-use cells with a favorable price can be easily replaced by the customer after each use, or after a few uses in the holder.

Pressure and temperature resistance: The cell is designed to withstand a maximum operating pressure of 8 MPa (1160 PSI). Also, it can withstand high operating temperatures of up to +260 °C (500 °F), making it affordable for single-use applications.
Optical path length: The cell is equipped with an inner insert made of PEEK material. This allows customers to choose the optical path length in advance. Different optical path lengths are available: from 0.05 mm to 10 mm.

Quality of the surface: The internal flow-through hole of the cell is characterized by its high-quality processed surface. Its internal surface quality value is less than Ra 0.4. Thanks to that, these cells meet the FDA certification requirements for various applications in the food and pharma industries.

Materials: The cell‘s wetted materials are a PEEK body and a sapphire window.

Connections: ECOM single-use cells are designed for chromatography systems equipped with tri-clamp connectors.
On customer request, the cells can be made with different connections: e.g. Luer Lock, Swagelok
UNF10 – 32; 1/4 – 28"; 5/16" – 24; UNF 1/2" – 20), Hose system 1/2"; 1/4"; 1/8", etc.

A necessary component for connecting the cell is the ECOM TCO01000 stainless steel cell holder (ordered separately) - a universal holder used for all sizes of single-use cells.
