Low Friction: POM has low friction properties, allowing for smooth insertion and removal of plugs without causing damage to the column or fittings.

Longevity: POM plugs have a long service life due to their robustness and resistance to wear, reducing maintenance frequency and replacement costs.

Cost-Effectiveness: POM plugs offer a cost-effective solution compared to other materials, balancing performance and affordability in HPLC applications.

HPLC POM Plug direct applications:

Column End Plugs

HPLC POM plugs are used to securely seal the ends of HPLC columns, ensuring leak-free connections and maintaining optimal chromatographic performance. They provide chemical resistance and dimensional stability necessary for reliable operation in various solvent environments.

Valve and Multiport Connector Sealing

POM plugs are employed to close off unused ports in valves and multiport connectors within HPLC systems. Their low friction properties facilitate easy installation and removal, while their chemical resistance ensures compatibility with different solvents.

High-Pressure Applications

In HPLC systems requiring high-pressure capabilities, POM plugs with coned designs are selected to provide a secure and leak-free seal. They withstand elevated pressures without compromising system integrity, making them suitable for rigorous chromatographic conditions.

Low-Pressure Applications

For applications where lower pressures are sufficient, flat-bottom POM plugs are used. These plugs maintain effective sealing while minimizing the risk of over-compression, ensuring reliable performance in less demanding chromatographic setups.

Color-Coded Identification

POM plugs can be manufactured in different colors for easy identification of stored columns with varying packing materials. This color-coding system enhances organization and efficiency in laboratory settings, facilitating quick setup and experimentation.

Routine Maintenance and System Configuration

During routine maintenance or system configuration changes, POM plugs simplify the process of sealing columns and connectors. Their ease of installation and removal supports efficient workflow management in chromatography laboratories.
