  • Patent number: 10018604
    Abstract: A connector unit for connecting capillaries, for high-performance liquid chromatography includes a connector capillary, a connector housing, and an annular sealing element. The connector capillary projects through a bore of the connector housing. The annular sealing element is provided on a front end region of the connector capillary and which is composed of a plastically and/or elastically deformable material. The connector capillary has an inner shell composed of a plastically and/or elastically deformable material and an outer shell which engages around the inner shell. The inner shell has a radially outwardly extending front end region which, on its own or together with the annular sealing element can generate a seal between the front end region of the connector capillary and a bushing unit.

  • Patent number: 9804134
    Abstract: The invention relates to a connector unit for connecting capillaries, in particular for high-performance liquid chromatography, wherein a sealing element sealing the capillary protrudes at least partially into the interior of the capillary, while a portion of the sealing element that protrudes axially from the capillary can be subjected to a compressive force that is introduced via the capillary to obtain an axial or radial plastic and/or elastic deformation.

  • Publication number: 20140131997
    Abstract: A connector unit for connecting capillaries, in particular for high-performance liquid chromatography is described. A connector capillary projects through a bore of a connector housing. An annular sealing element is provided on a front end region of the connector capillary and which is composed of a plastically and/or elastically deformable material. The connector housing is formed so as to be releasably connectable to a bushing unit. The connector capillary has an inner shell composed of a plastically and/or elastically deformable material and an outer shell which engages around the inner shell and which is composed of a pressure-resistant material. The inner shell has a radially outwardly extending front end region which, on its own or together with the annular sealing element can generate a sealing action between the front end region of the connector capillary and the annular face side of the capillary receiving opening of the bushing unit.
