Dionex Corporation is pleased to announce the release of five new Viper^TM capillary kits for the UltiMate® 3000 intelligent LC (LCi) solutions including Tandem Operation, Automated Application Switching, on-line SPE, Parallel LC, and Automated Method Scouting.

Dionex LCi solutions improve analysis throughput, increase system use time, or enable full automation of multidimensional LC or method development. The Viper connector features a revolutionary universal HPLC and UHPLC fitting concept combined with flexible 1/32" outer diameter capillaries, and it is the first fitting system that does not use ferrules for fluidic sealing. The Viper tubing improves chromatographic results by design, and allows connecting LC modules, valves, and columns quickly, easily, and reproducibly without any additional tools. These features make the Viper connector the ideal choice for fluidic connections in advanced chromatographic setups.

Each kit is available in a standard analytical version (SD) with 180 μm internal diameter and a micro/UHPLC version (RS) with 130 μm internal diameter. The kits are delivered in a high-quality box, containing clearly labeled capillaries, a quick installation guide, and laminated cards with flow schematics for fast and easy setup of LCi solutions.
