Description

The Waters 88426 Connector Washer is a small but critical component designed to create a reliable and leak-tight seal in fluidic connections, particularly within Waters’ high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) systems. This washer is constructed from Teflon, a brand name for polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a material renowned for its exceptional chemical inertness and resistance to a wide range of solvents and mobile phases used in chromatography.

The washer has dimensions of 8mm x10mm, referring to its inner and outer diameters. These precise dimensions are essential for ensuring a proper fit within the specific fittings of Waters’ equipment, which in turn contributes to the integrity of the fluid path and prevents leaks. A secure seal is paramount in HPLC to maintain system pressure and prevent the introduction of air or contaminants that could compromise analytical results.

As a genuine Waters part, the 88426 Connector Washer is a vital consumable for the maintenance and repair of chromatography systems. Its high-quality Teflon construction ensures reliability and chemical compatibility, making it an essential component for achieving accurate and reproducible chromatographic separations.
