Jet Separators

The jet separators are one of the most distinguished and precise scientific instruments. One of the exclusive models of the jet separators is the SGE all-glass single stage molecular jet separator for GC/MS interfacing. This particular jet separator incorporates a patented system of construction which allows accurate and also reproducible jet sizes, alignment and spacing and can be temperature cycled to 450 degrees C depending on the type of connections used. This separator overcomes the problem of peak broadening or tailing effects experienced with other separators such as the glass frit, membrane separator and such others.
 
Separator efficiency, varies according to the molecular weight, but is independent of the kind of molecule rendering the separator equally effective for polar, non polar and labile samples including steroids and insecticides. The jet separator can be used with capillary columns, providing make-up gas is used to optimize flow requirements.

N and Y values in a jet separator depend greatly on jet sizes and spacing. But, in practice they also depend on other factors including pumping speeds of the separator backing pump and ion diffusion pump. Because of this reason the performance data can only be regarded as approximate guidelines. It should be considered that better results could be achieved with a separator used under optimum conditions.
